    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Anomalies
    • Gastrointestinal Disorders

    Background:

    • Enteric duplications are rare congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract.
    • Thoracoabdominal enteric duplications specifically involve duplication cysts within the chest and abdominal cavities.
    • Understanding their varied presentations is crucial for timely diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • This study details two pediatric cases of thoracoabdominal enteric duplications and reviews 23 additional case reports.
    • Most duplications communicated with the gastrointestinal tract below the diaphragm.
    • One unique case presented with a duplication communicating with the cervical esophagus.

    Findings:

    • Infants with these duplications commonly exhibit respiratory symptoms.
    • Older children typically present with abdominal pain and melena (blood in stool).
    • Surgical management aims for complete excision of the duplication.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of diverse clinical presentations is vital for effective treatment.
    • Complete surgical removal is the recommended approach for these anomalies.
    • Further research into the embryological origins may elucidate prevention strategies.
