Perforation of jejunal duplication lined with ectopic gastric mucosa.
Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital anomalies that occasionally contain ectopic gastric mucosa that secretes acid peptic juice and can cause pain, ulceration, bleeding and rarely perforation. We report a case of a 2-year-old girl who developed perforation of a jejunal duplication lined with ectopic gastric mucosa who was managed surgically.
