Gastrointestinal duplication is an infrequent congenital disorder characterized by the presence of a muscular layer covered by mucosa. Gastric duplication cysts account for approximately 2%-9% of all gastrointestinal duplication cysts. The typical clinical presentation often includes symptoms such as epigastric pain, vomiting, and the presence of a palpable abdominal mass. However, these symptoms can overlap with more common conditions. Diagnostic confirmation usually necessitates additional imaging studies, and surgical intervention is the recommended treatment approach. In this case report, we present the case of a 9-year-old girl who presented with chronic abdominal pain and vomiting. Following a comprehensive evaluation, including a CT scan and various diagnostic tests, a diagnosis of gastric duplication cyst was established. The patient subsequently underwent a laparotomy procedure, during which the cyst was completely excised. Follow-up visits indicated an uneventful recovery, with complete resolution of all symptoms. The aim of this work is to report on the clinico-radiological aspects of gastric duplication cysts and their surgical treatment.
