Abstract

Intestinal duplications are congenital anomalies representing cystic or tubular lesions that can be found in any segment of the digestive tract. They are in the mesenteric border of the compromised segment with which they share irrigation. They are of rare occurrence and of multiple embryological etiology. The three essential factors for diagnosis include being surrounded by smooth muscle, sharing a common wall, and having mucous from the place of origin. Multiple duplications occur in 15% of duplications and are frequently associated with skeletal, digestive, and genitourinary tract malformations. We present the case of a pediatric patient with a rare multiple duplication of the digestive tract that includes gastric and duodenal duplication with pancreatic ectopic tissue, which represented a challenge for diagnosis and therapeutic management.
