Popis: Duplication cysts are one of the rare congenital anomalies affecting the gastrointestinal tract. Small intestine is the most common site followed by colonic and gastric duplications. The commonest presentation is intestinal obstruction followed by bleeding and rarely vovulus. These cysts can be detected on an antenatal scan. Postnatally these cysts can be diagnosed on Ultrasonography or Computed Tomography of the abdomen. We report two cases of cystic duplications, presented with acute intestinal abdomen due to intussusception, in the Department of Surgery
