Introduction: Duplication of the oesophagus is a rare congenital abnormality that usually presents in children. Presentation in adults is extremely rare.
Case History: We report a case of a19-year-old gentleman presenting with general gastrointestinal symptoms of pain and dysphagia. Diagnosis was made with CT and contrast studies, demonstrating complete tubular duplication of the oesophagus with communications at both ends of the duplication. The patient was managed conservatively.
Discussion: We describe the difficulty in diagnosing these rare congenital abnormalities. We recommend that with a multi-disciplinary approach, conservative management can be considered.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease in children, which affects approximately 18% of infants, results from gastric contents flowing into the esophagus due to factors such as immature sphincter function. Regurgitation is normal and often resolves by age two; however, persistent gastroesophageal reflux disease can lead to otolaryngological lesions such as subglottic stenosis. PubMed, AIRE, Scholar, MEDLINE, Springer Nature Journal, and Scopus were searched from their inception to February 2024.

Background: Guidelines fail to recommend objective measures to assist with treatment of neurogenic bowel dysfunction (NBD) in spinal cord injury (SCI).
Objectives: The main objective was to review the literature to identify the objective measures used in all NBD populations and to present their results and any correlations performed to validated subjective measures.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed in accordance with PRISMA (2020) guidelines, including all records from January 2012 to May 2023 with MeSH terms like "neurogenic bowel" indexed in the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Trials Register, and ClinicalTrials.
