title: Perforation in a jejunal duplication lined by ectopic gastric mucosa.
abstract: We report a 3-year-old child with jejunal duplication with localized perforation and bleeding in the adjacent normal intestine. The entire duplicated jejunum was lined by gastric mucosa. This was successfully treated by mucosal excision of the duplicated intestine and resection of a short segment of normal jejunum.
