title: Gastric duplication presenting as a double esophagus.
abstract: Duplications of the stomach are infrequent and, when present, usually become clinically manifest as an abdominal mass. Other clinical presentations have rarely been described. This report illustrates the case of a patient who presented with occult blood loss and radiographic evidence of esophageal duplication. A technetium scan demonstrated gastric duplication with mediastinal extension. Operative management and a review of the literature are described.
