Endoscopic management of a duodenal duplication cyst

J Pediatr Surg. 2012 Nov;47(11):e33-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2012.07.035.

Abstract

Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies. Five percent to 10% of them are found in the duodenum. Traditionally, these lesions are treated surgically using either a laparoscopic or open transduodenal approach. We present the successful endoscopic treatment of a symptomatic duodenal duplication cyst in a 9-year-old girl.
