title: [A single fluid level: radiographic aspect of a closed duplication of the ileum (author's transl)].
abstract: A five-year-old boy is admitted for an important loss of weight with diarrhoea and fever, recently appeared. The clinical investigations find out a ten-centimeter-large tumor, located in the hypogastrium area and x-rays findings, a single fluid level with no evidence of communication on the radiographs after barium meal and barium enema. The operation confirms the previous diagnosis of duplication of the distal small intestine, and sections the absence of opening into the gut lumen. The clinical signs and the presence of gas in that close duplication, are most likely, due to a colon bacillus superinfection.
