title: [Intestinal hemorrhage in a milk-fed infant: a case of laryngo-tracheo-gastric duplication].
abstract: An important gut hemorrhage in a breast fed child is not a usual event. If, in addition, the etiology represents a real rarity, even the most sophisticated diagnostic trials can't give any aid and this constitutes a hard diagnostic and therapeutic problem. In this report, the authors describe how, after a long sequence of analysis and exams, no certain diagnosis was possible, till serious anaemia gave indication to an explorative laparatomy. Laparatomy became both diagnostic and therapeutic and allowed to discover a rare malformation: a tracheal-gastric duplication.
