title: [Duplication of the alimentary tract with ectopic gastric mucosa as cause of lower abdominal pain].
abstract: Duplications of the alimentary tract are rare congenital anomalies, which may be difficult to diagnose. They cause unspecific symptoms and may mimic appendicitis. The authors report the case of a 9-year-old boy with recurrent pain in the right lower abdomen who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy. The painful episodes were, however, caused by a duplication with ectopic gastric mucosa, which had lead to an ulceration and an intussusception. Sonographically using a high resolution linear probe (7.5 MHz) the ileal intussusception could be demonstrated.
