Abstract

The gastrointestinal duplication of
stomach is uncommon congenital anomalies of gastrointestinal tract. Herein a
rare case of gastric duplication with newborn is being reported. A 14-day-old term
female baby was admitted to our clinic with intermittent bilious vomiting and
abdominal distention. In evaluation, abdominal cystic mass was detected in the
left upper quadrant. The cyst which was attached to both the pancreatic duct
and spinal cord was removed totally by laparotomy. A histologic examination showed
gastric duplication cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful. There were no
any complications at the 8-month follow-up period. This rare entity should be
included in the differential diagnosis of cystic masses of the gastrointestinal
tract and treated surgically by complete resection due to the risk of malignant
transformation and other complications. This is the first case report that the
gastric duplication cyst has a connection with both the pancreatic duct and
spinal cord.
