Abstract

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformation, of these, only 4% are gastric origin. It is diagnosed in 80 % of the patients before 2 years of age. Recently, prenatal diagnostic ratio gets higher through sonography and several diagnostic methods. In this paper, we describe a case of a cystic gastric duplication diagnosed prenatally with brief reviews of literature.

  Fig. 2. Axial view of ultrasonography through the postnatal abdomen at 1 day after birth. (A) Anechoic cyst (c) was visible at posterior wall of stomach (s) and consisted of two communication chambers. (B) Cyst was enclosed two layer, inner layer was hyperechoic (white arrow) and outer was hypoechoic (black arrow).

  Fig. 3. Coronal view of abdominal computed tomography after gastrografin oral injection at 1 day after birth. (A) Duplication cyst (circle) was visible at posterior wall of gastric fundus (arrow head). (B) Duplication cyst (circle) was visible at gastric greater curvature side of high body (black arrow). The cyst had no definite communication with the stomach (s).
