| Abstract |
|
Duplications of the stomach account for only 3.8% of gastrointestinal duplication, mainly
discovered during first year of life. Etiopathogenesis is unknown. The most widely accepted
theory is recannalization with fusion of longitudinal epithelial fold. The most frequent presented
symptoms and signs include gastric outlet obstruction with vomiting, and palpable mass in the
epigatric area. An upper gatrointestinal series usually reveals evidence of extrinsic mass effect of
intramural lesion. An abdominal ultrasonographic finding is cystic mass lesion with double layer.
Histologically, the wall of intramural cyst is composed of orderly layers of alimentary mucosa,
submucosa, and muscle fibers. Recommended management is complete excision & simple closure
of duplication without violation of the gastric lumen.
In this case, 3-day old male newborn suffered from symptoms of gastric outlet obstruction,
multiple gastric duplication cysts were found in pyloric canal and greater curvature. The cystic
wall was composed with typical 3 layers of gastric mucosa, submucosa, and muscle fibers. The
cystic wall was composed with typical 3 layers of gastric mucosa, submucosa, and muscle fibers.
Surgical excision was successfully done. |
