Perforated duplication cyst in the ileum presented with acute abdomen

Abstract

Duplication cyst is a rare condition of the gastrointestinal tract. It is asymptomatic or may be presented with complications simulating other common pathology like acute appendicitis. It is most commonly diagnosed accidentally during exploration for another cause or when complications occur, such as bleeding, intestinal obstruction or perforation. We presented here a case report of 11 years old child presented with sudden acute abdominal pain and localized peritonitis.
