“…Klinisch k6nnen die Duplikaturen durch einen palpablen Tumor oder durch eine Komplikation wie Blutung, Invagination, Ileus, Perforation oder durch eine Pankreatitis auffallen [6,12,13,16,18]. Blutung und Perforation sind meist durch versprengte Magenschleimhaut bedingt, die in der Duplikatur zu einem Ulkus ftihren kann [11,14,16].…”

Duplications of the alimentary tract are rare.Most of them are diagnosed during infancy or childhood, when they become symptomatic and a palpable mass is found. Major complications are bleeding, perforation, ileus and pancreatitis. In the majority of cases the gastrointestinal duplication is localized in the small bowel. Correct preoperative diagnosis by means of imaging techniques is rare. Because there is no malignancy surgery is only necessary in symptomatic cases.

Alimentary tract duplications are uncommon anomalies that usually present in childhood. They are most common in the ileum but can occur anywhere along the alimentary tract. In this report, we describe an adult with an ileal duplication and review 12 other reported cases of ileal duplication in adults. Abdominal pain, nausea and/or vomiting, weight loss, and hematochezia were the most common symptoms. No patient was correctly diagnosed before operation. Three patients had malignant neoplasm in the resected specimens. Resection of the duplication and adjacent bowel is recommended because of the common blood supply to both, the possibility of malignant degeneration, and the risk of gastrointestinal ulceration and hemorrhage from ectopic gastric mucosa.
