| Abstract |
|
Enteric duplications are uncommon congenital anomalies. Duplications of the stomach account for
only 3.8% of gastrointestinal duplication. More particularly, duplications involving the pylorus are
extremely rare. These are characterized by firm attachment to at least one point of the alimentary
tract with a well developed coat of smooth muscle and mucous membrane. The most frequent
presentation is an abdominal mass with vomiting, mainly discovered during the first year of life.
We experienced a 24-day-old boy with non-bilous, non-projectile vomiting and palpable abdominal
mass, clinically similar to hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. He was diagnosed as having gastropyloric
duplication cyst by abdominal ultrasonography, upper gastrointestinal series and abdominal
computerized tomography. Thus we report a newborn infant with gastric outlet obstruction secondary
to a duplication of the pylorus which is a rare cause of gastric obstruction. |
