“…The most accepted theory “split notochord syndrome” postulated the abnormal separation of the notochord from the endoderm, leading to enteric duplications [ 10 ]. Although gastric duplication, particularly intrathoracic, is a rare pathology [ 11 , 12 ], it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any intrathoracic cyst.…”

A 37-year-old (G4P3) woman was referred to our hospital at 32 weeks of gestation for the evaluation of a fetus with an intrathoracic cystic lesion. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed that a fetal cystic lesion without a mucosal layer was located in the posterior mediastinum. These findings were consistent with a bronchogenic cyst. At 38 3/7 weeks of gestation, an elective cesarean section was performed because of her previous cesarean section. A female neonate without any external anomalies, weighing 2,442 g, with Apgar scores of 8 and 9, and requiring no resuscitation was born. Four weeks after delivery, the neonate was admitted because of respiratory distress due to mass effect. At right lateral thoracotomy, a 105 × 65 mm of solitary smooth-walled cyst containing serosanguineous fluid was found in the posterior mediastinum, which was excised completely. Histologic examination revealed the diagnosis of the mediastinal gastric duplication cyst. The neonate made an uneventful recovery. Accurate diagnosis is not necessary, but detection and continuous observation are logical. Although gastric duplication, particularly intrathoracic, is a rare pathology, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any intrathoracic cyst.

“…Early resection of intra-thoracic cysts has been advocated due to potential complications. Respiratory distress occurs with increasing size of the cyst resulting in compression of the bronchi and lung parenchyma;[ 2 8 ] infection and dysplasia have been described;[ 2 5 9 ] haematemesis and haemoptysis secondary to acid production by ectopic gastric mucosa. [ 2 10 11 12 13 ] Thoracosopic excision has been described but often difficult if mass is very large.…”

“…Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) count for <4% of all duplication cysts. [ 1 2 3 4 ] Most GDCs are found along the greater curvature of the stomach and most are cystic and noncommunicating. [ 5 ] To our knowledge, this is the third reported case report in the English literature of an intra-thoracic occurring GDC.…”

“…Основными симптомами при удвоении желудка являются боли в эпигастральной области, тошнота, рвота, наличие пальпируемого опухолевидного образования. Достаточно редко возникает кровотечение из желудка, обусловленное изъязвлением слизистой кистозного образования [6,9,10]. Среди других проявлений необходимо помнить о возможности развития пневмонии при перемещении части кисты в грудную полость и панкреатита, обусловленного наличием свища между образованием и поджелудочной железой [11].…”

Considerable attention is currently being paid to the diagnosis and treatment of gastric malformations complicated by its obstruction. This can be attributed to stable incidence of these disorders among other congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract and no clear understanding of the causes and mechanisms underlying the development of this pathology. Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations that differ significantly in their appearance, location, size, and clinical manifestations. Their incidence is 1 case per 4,500 autopsies. Duplications can be cystic and diverticular (tubular) and can be located in any part of the gastrointestinal tract from the root of the tongue to the anal canal. The small intestine is affected most frequently, while duplications of the rectum, duodenum, and esophagus are exceedingly rare. In this article, we report two cases of gastrointestinal duplications in children treated using surgery. Key words: neonate, obstruction, developmental malformations, gastric duplication, esophageal duplication, case report
