Acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage in infancy from gastric duplication: imaging findings.
We report two cases of duplications, occurring along the greater curvature of the stomach, both complicated by acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and review the findings on various imaging studies. Special attention is directed to the plain film findings, as this may be the initial study performed in the emergency department setting.
