“…Enteric duplications can arise from the submucosal, intermuscular, or subserosal layer of the bowel wall which determines the attachment, continuity, and detachment of the duplication from the bowel wall. 10 For instance, duplications arising from the subserosal layer may detach from the bowel wall and lie adjacent to the point of its origin. In our case, we report an isolated type I tubular ileal duplication.…”

Background Enteric duplication cysts are a rare congenital abnormality that present more commonly in children than adults. Clinical presentation varies from vague abdominal pain, abdominal lump, iron deficiency anemia to intestinal obstruction due to intussusception or mass effect. We report a tubular ileal duplication in an adult male presenting with an acute abdomen due to perforative peritonitis. Case A 20-year-old male presented to the emergency department with complains of right lower abdominal pain. On clinical examination and ultrasound scan patient was suspected to have a complicated acute appendicitis (rupture). However, a computed tomography scan was suggestive of perforation in the distal ileum. Emergency exploratory laparotomy revealed a perforated isolated ileal tubular duplication.

“…Hypotheses regarding their development have included intrauterine volvulus with subsequent ischaemia and infarction, persistence of intrauterine diverticulum, and incomplete vacuolization of the solid alimentary tract. Cysts of foregut and hindgut origin are rare and are often associated with vertebral anomalies suggesting incomplete separation of the foregut and notochord [2]. Genital development may be considered to begin in the 3-week-old embryo with the primordial germ cells located in the wall of the yolk sac.…”

“…Theories of the embryogenesis of enterogenous cysts have included intrauterine volvulus with subsequent ischaemia and infarction, persistence of an intrauterine diverticulum, and failure of complete vacuolization of the solid alimentary tract 1,3 . Cysts of foregut and hindgut origin are commonly associated with vertebral anomalies suggesting incomplete separation of the foregut and notochord 3 . Enterogenous cysts can occur anywhere along the alimentary tract, including intraspinal sites.…”

“…Enterogenous cysts can occur anywhere along the alimentary tract, including intraspinal sites. Retroperitoneal enterogenous cysts are rare and only two previous cases are cited in the literature 1,3 . They must be distinguished from retroperitoneal hamartoma and cystic teratoma.…”
