[A case of intestinal duplication. Clinical study].
Reference to the relevant literature is followed by the presentation of a personal case of ileal duplication, in which pain led to an a mission diagnosis of appendicitis, whereas surgery revealed a second ileum, rising about 6-7 cm from the caecum and running for 35 cm into the sigmoid colon. The aetiopathogenesis of this abnormality is discussed. Pain, as in the present case, is evaluated with respects to its interpretation in preoperative diagnosis.
