Sequestrated tubular duplication of the colon with congenital subglottic stenosis.
A 6-year-old male presenting with features of intestinal obstruction because of a sequestrated tubular duplication of the colon is reported. The patient also had congenital subglottic stenosis, an association not yet reported with any type of gut duplication. Complete excision of the duplication was done with preservation of vascularity of the adjacent normal colon. The relevant literature is reviewed briefly.
