  • Title: Ileal duplication cyst causing massive bleeding in a child.
    Author: Wardell S, Vidican DE.
    Journal: J Clin Gastroenterol; 1990 Dec; 12(6):681-4. PubMed ID: 2266247.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal duplication is a rare congenital anomaly; nonetheless, it comprises more than half of all alimentary duplication disorders. Our case report describes the hemorrhagic sequelae of this entity with surgical and pathologic findings. A review of anatomical classification, embryology, and natural history of duplication cyst follows; differentiating characteristics of duplication cyst versus Meckel's diverticulum are outlined. Intestinal duplication cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of GI bleeding, especially in children.
