intestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa diagnosed by meckel's diverticulum scan
Authors
abstract
gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital malformations and they may vary greatly in presentation, size, location and symptoms. the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa (egm) in them is not common and they are difficult to diagnose prior to surgery. we present the case of a child with long intestinal duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa who presented with just severe anaemia and delayed milestones without any history of evident bleeding or abdominal symptoms and was accurately diagnosed prior to surgery with meckel’s scan. the case highlights the importance of the simple pertechnetate meckel’s scan in the imaging armamentarium involved in the evaluation of such cases.

full textIntestinal hemorrhage caused by Meckel’s diverticulum with ectopic gastric mucosa on polypoid lesion: a case report
Meckel's diverticulum may sometimes present as an intraluminal polypoid mass causing small bowel obstruction; however, gastrointestinal bleeding due to Meckel's diverticulum with a polypoid lesion is rare. A 14-year-old girl presented with tarry stool and syncope in our hospital. Laboratory examination showed iron-deficiency anemia with a low hemoglobin level of 5.8 g/dl. The bleeding site was ...
full textColonic duplication with heterotopy of gastric mucosa.
Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies, occurring in 1/5000 livebirths [1,2]. However, colonic duplications are extremely rare with only 7% of duplications involving the colon [3]. Heterotopy of gastric mucosa is a congenital lesion that often accompanies intestinal duplication [4]. In the case of symptomatic duplications, surgery is the treatment of choice, especially when...
full textHeterotopic gastric mucosa diagnosed by confocal endomicroscopy.
A 23-year-old woman was referred for a gastroscopy. She had a long history of upper abdominal pain, pyrosis and postprandial fullness without a complete response to proton-pump-inhibitors. She didn’t relate any other relevant symptom or antecedent. Routine blood analysis revealed no abnormalities. The exam was made with a confocal endomicroscope (Pentax EPK-1000, ISC-1000). White light examinat...
full textIntestinal Duplication Cyst Misdiagnosed as Meckel's Diverticulum
An intestinal duplication cyst is a very rare congenital anomaly, with symptoms including abdominal pain, abdominal distention, intestinal bleeding, and hematochezia. Hematochezia can be caused by ectopic gastric mucosa, although there are other causes of infantile hematochezia; hence, an intestinal duplication cyst can be misdiagnosed as bowel intussusception or Meckel's diverticulum. Here, a ...
full textDouble esophageal duplication cysts, with ectopic gastric mucosa: a case report
Esophageal duplication cyst (EDC) is a congenital malformation of the posterior primitive foregut, which mainly occurs in the thoracic esophagus. Here, we describe a 3-year-old Han Chinese boy afflicted with intermittent fever of acute onset and dry cough. Thoracic computed tomography revealed an 10 cm × 5.4 cm × 5.8 cm oval-shaped, cyst-like tumor located in the extrapleural space, extending a...
