title: Congenital intestinal duplication in an adult.
abstract: Congenital intestinal duplication is an anomaly most commonly diagnosed in children under the age of 2. Rarely, it is seen in adults who remain asymptomatic or present with vague abdominal symptoms. Here, we describe the case of a 33-year-old female who was diagnosed intraoperatively with congenital intestinal duplication after suffering from a year of vague abdominal complaints.
