“…Basu, Forshall, and Rickham (1960) have reported that abdominal lesions are much more common in males (70 per cent in their series), but this finding is not confirmed in the present series, in which only 47 per cent of such lesions are in boys.…”

1. Twenty‐two patients with non‐vitelline accessory enteric formations are reported. 2. The clinical and pathological features and the management of the cases are described. 3. The value of radiography of the whole vertebral column as an investigation in undiagnosed rectal bleeding is emphasized. 4. The pathogenesis of non‐vitelline accessory enteric formations and the significance of associated spinal malformations are discussed.

“…Aetio1ogy.-Many theories on pathogenesis have been suggested; these have been well marshalled in this JOURNAL, first by Fallon, Gordon, and Lendrum (1954) and later by Basu, Forshall, and Rickham (1960). The hypothesis of a n upset of notochordal excalation by the former authors explained many prevertebral cysts and duplications, but they were unaware of any cases of intra-abdominal duplication or mesenteric cyst associated with vertebral abnormality; they postulated that eventually such lesions would be found, but in the cases reviewed by Anderson and others (1962) and i n our own case, no radiological signs of such a lesion was reported.…”

“…This shows the rarity of the case and why the current reported case is the first one to be described. Overtime, some authors have presented classification to categorize anatomical variation of cecal appendix [5]. The first classification was developed by Cave which later modified by Wellbridge [6,7].…”

A Case Report on Duplex Appendix in a Patient with Ileocolocolic Intussusceptions

Duplex cecal appendix is a rare anatomical variation. Approximately 100 cases of double cecal appendix have been described so far. Till now there is no report of duplex appendix serving as a lead point in a patient with intussusceptions. This case report presents the first case of such presentation for the first time. This 6 month old female child presented with vomiting and diarrhea of week duration. She was tachycaridic, tachypniec and febrile. On abdominal examination she had distended and tender abdomen with hyper tympanic sound on percussion. She was irritable and had a sunken eye ball. She had leaukocytosis (20.8 × 10 3 ), hypokalemia (3.3 mmol/l) and hyponatremia (125 mmol/l). Abdominal ultrasounds were suggestive of intussusception. After stabilizing the patient we operated her for possible pre-operative diagnosis of SBO secondary to Intussusception. Intra-operatively it was an Ileocolocolic intussusception with duplex appendix as a leading point. We did resection and anastomosis. Post operatively she was transfused with two units of blood (20 ml/kg), given IV antibiotics, analgesics and followed with vital sign sheet (Table 1). She started PO feeding after 36 hours post operation and discharged on the 7 th day improved. The case is extremely important for the study of this possible anatomical variation and its association with intussusceptions. It also serves as an input for future studies in the area. Moreover, its association with the presence of other anatomical variations such as intestinal, genitourinary and bone is important. And reporting such a rare case is very essential in the development of surgical practice.
