Abstract
Duplication cysts occur because of congenital aberration during gut development. They are commonly diagnosed during infancy and rarely during adulthood. We present an adult male who presented to surgical emergency with acute intestinal obstruction. Intraoperatively, this patient was found to have a non-communicating duplication cyst of ileum causing proximal obstruction. The involved segment of the small bowel was resected and a divided loop ileostomy was created. 2016 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.Entities:
