Gastric duplication cysts as a rare cause of haematemesis: diagnostic challenges in two children

Hendrik Prinsloo et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 2011 Oct.

Abstract

Gastric duplication cysts are rare congenital alimentary tract anomalies. We describe the importance of imaging in two children with haematemesis due to gastric duplication cysts. We emphasize the necessity for a high clinical index of suspicion for early diagnosis.
