Apple-Peel Intestinal Atresia Along with Isolated Jejunal Duplication Cyst in a Newborn – An Extremely Rare Case Report and Brief Review

“…Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital malformations that can arise anywhere in gastrointestinal tract, the most common location being ileum [5,6]. They are epithelial-lined structures attached to intestinal wall and supplied by mesenteric vessels [7].…”

“…When they do not communicate with intestinal lumen, they are called non-communicating or isolated duplication cyst [5]. Duplication cysts will lead to intestinal obstruction, perforation and there is potentiality for malignant degeneration [6]. Most of them are located on the mesentry of intestine as opposed to Meckel diverticulum, which occur on antimesentric side of bowel.…”
