title: [Gastric duplications in children. Apropos of a case manifested in a newborn infant].
abstract: We report a case of gastric duplication with neonatal manifestations. Diagnosis of this infrequent malformation is readily established in most cases upon roentgenologic and ultrasound examinations. Etiopathogenesis is unknown. Therapy is surgical. Complete exeresis involves mutilation because the supernumerary stomach shares the vascular supply to the normal stomach, and because a cleavage plane is lacking. Therefore, incomplete resection should be performed as the condition is benign and good results are consistently achieved with this procedure.
