[Enterolithiasis and digestive duplication. Apropos of a pediatric case].
This is the case report of a 13 years old white young girl in whom numerous moving abdominal calcifications are discovered during investigation for chronic anemia. Because of the existence of a severe vascular malformation of the face, a digestive arteriography is performed with no evidence of a calcified angiomatosis of the intestine tract. Preoperative diagnosis was intestinal duplication with enterolithiasis. Exploratory laparotomy confirmed that it was a huge communicating ileal duplication with numerous intestinal calculi and alimentary fragments. Surgical excision was easy and post-operative course, uneventful. This is a standard association but never reported in the pediatric literature. The authors stress on the different diagnosis of calcifications encountered in abdominal X rays in children and on chronic intestinal stasis which is the main factor in enteroliths formation.
