Abstract

Gastrointestinal duplications are rare but interesting clinical entities. They have a varied presentation, with most of them showing up in paediatric population. Clinical features may vary from asymptomatic abdominal masses to bowel obstruction or perforation. This review traces the embryological origin and describes the anatomical types of duplications. An outline of the principles of management is described.

Keywords: Duplication cyst; Enteric cysts; Intestinal duplication.
