title: Case report: Colonic duplication: a rare cause of obstruction.
abstract: Complete duplication of the entire large bowel with partial ileal involvement is very rare and diagnosis can often be difficult as illustrated by this case report. We also review the other clinical associations of this rare condition and briefly discuss the embryology of duplications of the gastrointestinal tract.
