AI Article Synopsis
- Duodenal duplication cysts (DDC) are rare digestive tract duplications requiring careful treatment based on size and location, with total resection being ideal but often challenging due to potential damage to nearby structures.
- A case involving a 6-year-old boy with DDC and a congenital anomaly allowed for successful laparoscopic resection and reconstructive surgery, avoiding injury to critical ducts.
- The postoperative outcome was positive, with the patient discharged after 12 days, demonstrating that appropriate surgical techniques can lead to favorable results in managing DDC even in pediatric cases.
Article Abstract
Background: Duodenal duplication cysts (DDC) are rare duplications of the alimentary tract. Their treatment depends on their size and location. A radical treatment is total resection, if possible. However, partial excision, puncture, and marsupialization can be selected to prevent surgical injury to the pancreaticobiliary tract despite the risk of recurrence. There are some reports of pancreaticoduodenectomy for DDC because of the risk of recurrent symptoms and malignancy. However, this is considered excessively invasive for DDC, particularly in pediatric cases, because of its extremely low rate of malignancy and high morbidity and mortality rates. We encountered a case of DDC with a congenital duodenal position anomaly occurring in the second part of the duodenum. Taking advantage of the congenital duodenal position anomaly, the DDC was completely resected without injuring the pancreaticobiliary duct.
Case Presentation: A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed with a duodenal duplication cyst with obstruction. There was a congenital duodenal position anomaly. The distal second part of the duodenum was the dorsal side of the proximal second part of the duodenum and ascended upward from the proximal second part of the duodenum. The third and fourth parts of the duodenum ran downward to the left and posterior parts of the portal vein, forming the ligament of Treitz. Complete laparoscopic resection of the duodenal duplication cyst and the second to fourth parts of the duodenum, and duodenojejunostomy with retrocolic reconstruction was performed because the duodenum was easily mobilized to the ligament of Treitz owing to the duodenal position anomaly. The duodenojejunostomy with retrocolic reconstruction achieved a more physiologically normal appearance compared to what would have been achieved with a Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 12 without any complications.
Conclusions: The procedure used in this case might not be easily applied in all laparoscopy cases. However, it could be an option for duodenal duplication cysts with congenital duodenal position anomalies.

Preduodenal portal vein (PDPV) is a rare congenital vascular malformation, which was first described by Knight in 1921 as an anomalous vein that lies in front of the duodenum, common bile duct, and hepatic artery instead of beneath them. This abnormal position may result in congenital duodenal obstruction and puts it in danger during operations around this region. PDPV is typically associated with other congenital anomalies, mainly intraabdominal and cardiac ones.

A 77-year-old woman underwent CT to evaluate haematemesis. The images showed that the third part of the duodenum flexed steeply on the right side of the aorta and ran caudally, without crossing anterior to the aorta. The duodenal-jejunal junction and jejunum were located on the patient's right side.

Background: Neonatal intestinal malrotation complicated by midgut volvulus is a serious and common life-threatening complication. When the midgut volvulus is prolonged or severe, it can lead to secondary necrosis of the entire midgut, with high mortality rates. Therefore, improving understanding the clinical characteristics of this condition is necessary to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.

The rise of atmospheric oxygen as a result of photosynthesis in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts has transformed most environmental iron into the ferric state. In contrast, cells within organisms maintain a reducing internal milieu and utilize predominantly ferrous iron. Ferric reductases are enzymes that transfer electrons to ferric ions, either extracellularly or within endocytic vesicles, enabling cellular ferrous iron uptake through Divalent Metal Transporter 1.

Background: Foreign bodies (FBs) in the gastrointestinal tract are a common occurrence in pediatric patients, often requiring medical intervention for removal. Conventional extraction methods can be challenging, particularly when the FB is unusually large, long, abnormally positioned, or tightly embedded, presenting a gap in safe, non-surgical management techniques.
Case Presentation: In this report, we describe the innovative use of a lasso structure formed by a guidewire and biopsy forceps to successfully remove a tightly embedded toothbrush from the duodenum of a pediatric patient with schizophrenia, avoiding invasive surgical interventions, and the patient recovered well post-procedure without complications.
