“…The four layers (mucosa, submucosa, muscularis and serosa) of the normal intestine wall are usually evident in the wall of the enteric duplication. A common muscular layer is present between the duplicated intestine and its adjacent bowel (Spaulding et al 1990;Deftereos et al 2004; Cheng et al 2005;Radlinsky et al 2005). In the present case, a multi-layered appearance of the small intestine was identified.…”

Enteric duplication is rare in dogs. Here, we report the rarest form of duplication in which two segments are parallel and share a wall for most of their lengths. A nine-year-old spayed female Yorkshire terrier was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital at Gyeongsang National University due to anorexia and diarrhoea. Physical examination, haematological examination, radiography, and ultrasonography were performed. On physical examination, dry, pale mucous membrane was identified. Moderate anaemia with decreased packed cell volume was detected in complete blood count. Serum urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were mildly increased. Radiographic images revealed no significant findings. On ultrasonographic examination, a multi-layered appearance of a focal small intestinal segment was identified in the left mid abdomen. Following the lesion, it was divided into two small intestinal segments. Based on imaging findings, intussusceptions or enteric duplication were suspected. To resect the abnormal small intestinal segment, enterectomy was performed. Follow-up was not performed because the patient expired during the postoperative recovery time. The histopathological diagnosis was non-communicating small intestinal duplication. Non-communicating intestinal duplication is related to embryologic abnormalities and is usually concurrent with other anomalies such as vertebral malformations and urogenital duplications. However, this case had no other anomalies associated with the malformation of the intestine.

“…Enteric duplication is a rare developmental malformation in veterinary medicine (Radlinsky et al 2005 ;Kook et al 2010). Grossly, duplicated intestinal segments are usually blind sacs or cysts that share a wall with the normal intestine (Spaulding et al 1990).…”

“…The single duplication described in a cat was located in the midjejunum but lined with esophagus-type epithelium. 7 In general, the case presented here shares all characteristics of intestinal duplications: a location adjacent to the intestinal lumen, a wall composed of smooth muscles, and a lining by intestine-like mucosa. 2 All structures of a regular intestinal wall were present in 1 cyst, whereas the mucosal lining was absent in the remaining 2 and instead replaced by granulation tissue.…”

“…2,5,9 Documented cases in animals cover dogs, a cat, foals, and goats. 3,4,[6][7][8] Their localization in the alimentary tract and their inner lining may differ widely, and diverse theories in terms of their formation during embryogenesis have been discussed. 5 Here, we describe the first case of multiple intestinal duplications in the jejunum of a cat.…”

Multiple Cystic Intestinal Duplications in a Cat

Abstract. A 7-year-old, female European shorthair cat with a history of recurrent vomiting had a 2-cm cystic mass in the midjejunum. Cross-sectioning and histology revealed 3 separate cystic structures in the muscular layer, in addition to a regularly structured intestinal lumen. One cyst had a 3-layered wall consisting of a dysplastic mucosa, a regularly structured submucosa, and partly double-layered muscularis that sporadically contained neurons resembling a myenteric plexus. The remaining 2 cysts had similar structures except for granulation tissue lining the lumen. The lesion was diagnosed as multiple cystic duplications in the midjejunum, which is unknown to the veterinary literature to date.

“…The clinical signs range from partial or complete intestinal tract obstruction to melaena and pancreatitis, but the malformation may also be an incidental finding (Radlinsky and others 2005). In children, duodenal duplications are a rare but well-known differential diagnosis for upper intestinal tract obstruction and comprise 5 to 10 per cent of intestinal duplications (Berrocal and others 1999, Guarise and others 2006).…”
