“…However, they may run undetected during childhood and present during adolescence, such as this case 13. Moreover, ID is typically found during surgical explorations of the aforementioned complications 2 12. The marked inflammatory changes of the ID, which caused the patient’s clinical presentation, were interpreted as a consequence from ischaemic events derived from SCD, which was supported by the histopathological analysis.…”

“…There must be awareness of the varied presentations of ED and provide the appropriate management during surgery. The typical presentation is before the age of 2 with abdominal pain, abdominal mass, intestinal obstruction, perforation or haemorrhage 2 12. However, they may run undetected during childhood and present during adolescence, such as this case 13.…”

“…Regarding prevalence, MD is the most common congenital malformation of the gastrointestinal tract, occurring in circa 2% of the population, and ID is much less common 1 2 13 20. Altogether, ID are usually difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to their wide spectrum of anatomical presentations, signs and symptoms as well as different imaging findings 12 13. There must be awareness of the varied presentations of ED and provide the appropriate management during surgery.…”

“…On the other hand, enteric duplications (EDs) are rare congenital anomalies, which occur along the gastrointestinal tract, virtually anywhere from the mouth to the anus 2 12. The real incidence is hard to determine since many are asymptomatic, but it is estimated to be 1 in 5000 live births, around 0.2% of all children 2 13.…”

“…EDs vary widely in location, size, type, mucosal pattern and their complications might produce different clinical presentations as well as different imaging findings 1 13. The majority of EDs occur along the small bowel, and circa 33% of them are found in the ileum, making ID the most common location 1 2 12 13. EDs are generally classified as tubular or cystic; duplication cysts are more frequent 2.…”

This study reports an exceptional case of a 14-year-old girl with sickle cell disease that was diagnosed with agenesis of the vermiform appendix and ileal duplication. Both consist of extremely rare gastrointestinal malformations whose association has never been described. The preadolescent girl presented with abdominal pain and vomiting, and the ultrasound was suggestive of acute appendicitis. Surgical findings were agenesis of the vermiform appendix and a T-shaped ileal malformation with inflammatory changes. The patient underwent resection and ileal end-to-end anastomosis. Histopathological evaluation identified an ileal duplication, with small bowel and colonic mucosa, no communication to the adjacent ileum and ischaemic changes. At 8-month follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic.

Introduction and Importance: Duplications are the abnormal portion of the intestine, either externally attached to the intestine or intrinsically placed within the bowel lumen. Their prevalence is noted to be around one in 25,000 deliveries. The rare gastrointestinal tract duplication may be located in any part of the gastrointestinal system from the oral cavity to the anus. The most common site of enteric duplication cyst is the terminal part of the ileum. Hence, duplications in jejunum are rare. Case Presentation: Hereby, we report a case of jejunal duplication cyst in a female neonate which was managed successfully via surgery and adequate post-operative care without any complications. Clinical Discussion: Duplications are more frequently single. They are usually located in the mesenteric border of the associated native bowel and may vary in shape and size. Most of them are cystic, followed by tubular and mixed type, with or without other congenital anomalies. More than 80% of the cases present before the age of 2 years as an acute abdomen or bowel obstruction, but many duplications remain silent unless complications occur, and therefore may not be diagnosed until adulthood. Complications of enteric duplication cysts include volvulus, bleeding, and, rarely, malignant degeneration. Conclusion: It is important for pediatric surgeons to include duplication cyst in the differential diagnosis if a neonate presents with features of intestinal obstruction.
