title: [Colon triplication associated with ileum atresia in laparoschisis].
abstract: The present paper reports the unusual and rare case of a colon triplication associated with other findings never reported before, including the diagnostic and therapeutic management with consideration of the relevant, but rare scientific references in the medical literature. In the basic finding of an ileum atresia with laparoschisis, a colon triplication was incidentally found. The surgical procedure performed after the primarily planned Caesarean section within the 34(th) week of gravidity consisted of a bowel-preserving resection of the triplication including the ileum atresia and a subsequent Santulli anastomosis followed by a later excision of the ileostoma. Interestingly, this is the 9(th) reported case in the accessible English medical literature but, however, the first and only one with an associated ileum atresia and laparoschisis, which was successfully treated with a surgical intervention.
