    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Intestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies.
    • Duodenal duplications can present with vague symptoms, leading to diagnostic delays.
    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management and preventing complications.

    Observation:

    • A 17-year-old patient presented with extreme thinness and minimal symptoms.
    • Initial diagnosis was anorexia nervosa due to nonspecific clinical presentation.
    • Subsequent investigation revealed intestinal duplication in the duodenum.

    Findings:

    • The case underscores the importance of considering rare gastrointestinal pathologies.
    • Duodenal duplication can mimic other conditions, necessitating a broad differential diagnosis.
    • Review covers etiopathogenesis, anatomy, clinical features, diagnostics, and treatment of duodenal duplications.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the need for increased awareness of duodenal duplication in adolescent medicine.
    • Emphasizes the role of advanced imaging and diagnostic procedures.
    • Informs clinical practice for managing similar rare gastrointestinal anomalies.
