Abstract

Duplication of gut is a rare congenital anomaly of controversial etiology. Its presentation is variable and preoperative diagnosis is rare, even per-operative diagnosis may be difficult. A 1 year 4 months old female child of consanguineous marriage with delayed mile-stone presented with features of acute intestinal obstruction. Past history of recurrent distention of abdomen and occasional vomiting were present. On exploration, intramural cystic mass in the terminal ileum was found to occlude the ileocaecal opening as a ball valve. No other mass was present in the gastro-intestinal tract. Resection and anastomosis were done. Histological study showed a cystic type of duplication of gut. Sequestration of intestinal mucosa is likely cause.
