Duodenal duplication cyst with enteroliths: Computed tomography and ultrasound diagnosis

Abstract

A duodenal duplication cyst containing enteroliths in an adult patient is presented. The preoperative diagnosis was established by computed tomographic (CT) and ultrasound (US) examinations. To the best of our knowledge this is the first description of enteroliths in a duodenal duplication cyst.

Enterolith Containing Uric Acid: An Unusual Cause Of Intestinal Obstruction

“…Veryfew cases have been reported. A duodenal duplication cyst containing uric acid enteroliths has been reported by Bar-Ziv J et al [10]. Secondly this enterolith was not associated with any stricture, inflammation or diverticulum.…”

Duodenal duplication cyst: beware of the lesser sac collection

“…Blake described the beak sign, which enabled a confident preoperative diagnosis in four infants [20]. Contrast enhanced CT provides an accurate definition of the cyst and its relations [2,21]. Magnetic resonance imaging [22] and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography [23] have also been utilised.…”

Adenocarcinoma arising in colonic duplication cysts with calcification: CT findings of two cases

“…We found eight cases of calcification in alimentary tract duplication in the English literature [9,[20][21][22][23][24]. In five cases, calcification was seen in the wall [9,[20][21][22]; in three cases, enteroliths were seen in the lumen [22][23][24].…”
