Summary
Gastric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies. This case highlights multimodality imaging, including scintigraphy, for diagnosing these stomach abnormalities in an infant.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Surgery
- Medical Imaging
- Congenital Anomalies
Background:
- Gastric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies.
- Diagnosis often relies on imaging, but scintigraphy examples are infrequently reported.
Observation:
- An infant presented with a gastric duplication cyst.
- The condition was evaluated using a comprehensive multimodality imaging approach.
Findings:
- Scintigraphy, ultrasound, computed tomography, and upper gastrointestinal series were utilized.
- Correlative surgical and histologic findings confirmed the diagnosis.
Implications:
- This case underscores the utility of multimodality imaging in diagnosing gastric duplication cysts.
- It provides valuable insights into the role of scintigraphy in evaluating these rare anomalies.
