“…Secretion of ectopic gastric mucosa causes ulceration of the intestinal mucosa, which can lead to massive bleeding or bowel perforation [12] . Gastric mucosa was found in 50.8% of cystic duplications and was present in all locations, including the colon and rectum with somewhat lower frequency of 33% [3] .…”

“…Although they can present at any age, more than 80% of the cases present before the age of two as an acute abdomen or bowel obstruction [2] . Colorectal duplications occur in 13% of these cases [3] . If encountered incidentally, these lesions should be surgically addressed to avoid any future complications [4,5] .…”

“…In particular, Puligandla et al examined the duplications found in the IC valve region as an independent entity from the duplications found in the ileum and described a frequency of 30.2% and 31.5% respectively, reporting the largest series. However, in this review the clinical data were brought together and the surgical treatment was briefly described as resection with or without intestinal anastomosis, not specifically referring to the site of the malformation [12].…”

Background: Ileocecal (IC) duplication cysts are enteric duplications located at the IC junction, not clearly identified in all the published series. The reported treatment is IC resection and ileocolic anastomosis. It is well known that the loss of the IC valve has several adverse effects. This study is aimed at demonstrating that cyst removal together with the common ileal wall and following enterorrhaphy is possible, safe, and effective in preserving the IC region. Methods: Medical records of 3 patients who underwent surgery for IC duplication between 2003 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed evaluating follow-up results. Results: All patients had an antenatal diagnosis of intraabdominal cystic mass. In two cases associated malformations were reported. The lesions presented at newborn age with intermittent small bowel obstruction and required removal. No patients underwent IC resection. The diagnosis of duplication cyst was confirmed by histo-pathologic examination. The postoperative course was uneventful, even in the long-term follow-up. Conclusions: Our conservative approach is a simple and safe technique, effective in avoiding the loss of the IC valve in children with duplication at the IC junction.

“…In pediatric clinics, alimentary tract duplications are seen with an incidence of approximately 1 in 4500 [1]. Most cases are diagnosed within the first 5 years of life [2].…”
