title: Intestinal duplication in adulthood: A rare entity, difficult to diagnose.
abstract: Duplications of the alimentary tract (ATD) are rare congenital anomalies often found early in life. They may occur anywhere in the intestinal tract but the ileum is the most frequently affected site. Clinical presentation of ATD in adults is variable and because these lesions occur so infrequently they are rarely suspected. In the present report we describe a case of ileal duplication in a 61-year-old patient with Crohn's disease. Despite various radiological investigations and medical consultations, the diagnosis was only made on the surgical specimen.
