Duodenal duplication--3 new cases.
Duplications can occur anywhere in the alimentary tract from mouth to anus. There may be multiple duplications in about 15% of cases. The most common site is in the distal ileum, in over 50% of cases. Duodenal duplications are rare, and occur in only 5-10% of the total in recent reviews (3, 5, 7). Three cases of this very uncommon abnormality are reported.
