Intestinal duplication in an adult patient diagnosed by multidetector computed tomography enteroclysis: report of a case.
This study reports a case of small-bowel duplication, a rare congenital malformation, in an adult with abdominal pain and sub-obstruction signs. CT enteroclysis allowed the diagnosis that conventional imaging failed to demonstrate and it confirmed itself the most accurate exam in small-bowel disease diagnosis. This is the first report of a small-bowel duplication diagnosed by CT enteroclysis.
