Uncommon case of intestinal duplication cyst. Case report.

INTRODUCTION: Alimentary tract duplication is a rare congenital anomaly that can occur anywhere along the entire digestive tract. The incidence has been reported very low. Ileum is most common part of duplication. It is more common in childs and newborns. But some duplications remain 'silent' and clinicians often misdiagnose it because of the nonspecific clinical signs. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: We present the case of a young girl suffering from abdominal pain for months,not getting benefit from medical treatment and was misdignosed as irritable bowel syndrome, after investigation cystic lesion was discovered so she underwent explorative laparatomy and intestinal duplication was indentified which was completely resected with end to end ananstomosis. DISCUSSION: The intestinal duplication cysts are unusual malformation. The clinical presentation is not specific and depends on the location.The surgical treatment includes resection of the duplicated bowels. Surgical intervention is the treatment of choice. CONCLUSION: It is important to include intestinal duplication in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.

Uncommon manifestation of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome: a case of jejuno-jejunal intussusception and volvulus leading to small bowel obstruction.

Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare genetic disorder causing gastrointestinal polyps and skin pigmentation. Our case report highlights a unique instance of jejuno-jejunal intussusception associated with PJS in a 28-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with colicky abdominal pain, tachycardia, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Physical examination revealed mucocutaneous hyperpigmentation. Imaging studies showed a U-shaped distension in the jejunum with thickening and pneumatosis. Laparotomy revealed a jejuno-jejunal volvulus with intussusception. Surgical resection successfully addressed gangrenous jejunal tissue and ileal polyps. Histopathology confirmed PJS polyps. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well and was discharged. Family history revealed similar skin lesions in her uncle. Our case highlights the need for prompt surgical intervention to address complications associated with PJS and elucidates a unique presentation of PJS involving jejuno-jejunal intussusception and volvulus leading to complete small bowel obstruction. We aim to deepen understanding and prompt discussions on optimal therapeutic strategies.
