[Duplication of the intestinal tract].

Twelve duplications of the alimentary tract in eleven children are reviewed. There was a predominance of the spheric type of duplication as well as the neonatal group of children with clinical sign of tumour in most cases. There were no major problems in resection of spheric duplications but tubular type cases afforded different procedure in each case. Three cases with associated atresias were noted. There was one death related to gastric duplication.
