Laparoscopic Excision of Foregut Duplication Cyst of Stomach

Asymptomatic perforated gastric duplication clogged by omentum, anorectal malformation and agenesis of the corpus callosum: A rare combination

“…[ 2 ] Gastric duplications are usually diagnosed in a young age due to their mass effect. [ 4 ] A wide range of symptoms and signs have been reported and vary from asymptomatic to complicated or non-specific presentations. The most frequents are vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distension and weight loss.…”

“…The embryological origin of these anomalies is still controversial. [ 4 6 7 ] Many theories exist for the development of these lesions including a persistent embryological diverticulum, aberrant recanalization of the alimentary tract. The theory of split notochord is postulated to describe many associated anomalies involving the spine, gastrointestinal tract and skin.…”

“…[ 6 ] Rare malformative associations with gastric duplication are described in the literature (mature teratoma with vertebral anomalies,[ 8 ] omental pseudocyst,[ 3 ] diaphragmatic eventration and accessory pancreatic). [ 2 4 ] Only one case of anorectal malformation associated with spinal lipoma and transdiaphragmatic duplicated gastric cyst is published in the literature. [ 4 ]…”

“…[ 2 4 ] Only one case of anorectal malformation associated with spinal lipoma and transdiaphragmatic duplicated gastric cyst is published in the literature. [ 4 ]…”

“…More rarely, gastric duplication represents 4%–9% of these duplications. [ 1 2 3 4 ] Its etiopathogenesis remains unclear. Gastric duplication is often isolated.…”
