Duplication of the caecum in a neonate simulating intussusception.
A case of caecal duplication in a 36-h-old neonate is described. The patient presented with vomiting and an abdominal mass and the barium enema finding was initially suggestive of intussusception. At laparotomy a duplication cyst completely obstructing the lumen was found. This was considered to have given the radiological picture simulating intussusception.
