Abstract:
Gastric duplication cysts are a rare finding in the adult population. Duplication cysts comprise 4% of the alimentary tract duplications, and about 67% are usually discovered within the first year of life. They can be located anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, with the majority located in the greater curvature of the stomach. Duplication cysts may be identified on imaging studies in asymptomatic patients or may present with nonspecific symptoms that can include emesis and abdominal pain. We describe a case of a communicating cyst in the antrum of the stomach leading to gastric outlet obstruction in a 19-year-old male.
