A jejunoileal duplication diagnosed by Tc-99m pertechnetate abdominal scintigraphy.
Alimentary tract duplications are uncommon congenital anomalies. Although most are symptomatic by the age of 2 years, some remain asymptomatic until adulthood. In one third of all cases, heterotopic gastric mucosa lines the wall of dupli cation, and may cause peptic ulceration, gastrointestinal bleed ing, fistulization or perforation. We report in this paper, a case of jejunoileal duplication...
متن کاملThoracic, Thoraco-abdominal, and Abdominal Duplication.

At the age of 7 months she had been admitted to another hospital with profuse melaena. On 1 May 1956 laparotomy revealed a small bowel duplication 50 cm. in length, terminating distally in what appeared to be a Meckel's diverticulum. At the base of the diverticul...
متن کاملDelayed imaging for detection of Meckel's diverticulum in Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy
Tc-99m pertechnetate scintigraphy is the modality of choice for diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum. Interpretation of Meckel's scan identifies a focal area of radiopharmaceutical uptake in the anterior abdomen similar to normal gastric mucosa. The activity must be of the same pattern and intensity as gastric uptake. We present a 13-year-old patient with gastrointest...

This 19-year-old female was in excellent health, but a week's abdominal pain made her search for a doctor's help.

متن کاملVery early prenatal diagnosis of large isolated thoracic enteric cysts and review of the literature.
Introduction Th oracic enteric cysts are extremely rare developmental entities that represent 1 – 2% of all mediastinal cysts (Davis et al. 1987). In most clinical cases, thoracic enteric cysts are encountered in the late neonatal period or even in childhood, when they are diagnosed because of typical respiratory problems and other symptoms associated with compression of some surrounding struct...
