AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
The authors report an exceptional case of acute abdomen caused by the necrosis and perforation of a duodenal duplication cyst in a 23 year-old-patient. The cyst was located at the anterior and lateral surface of the duodenum, between its first and second portion. The patient underwent a cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (Whipple's procedure) because of the intimate adherence of the necrotic and inflammatory mass to duodenum and head of the pancreas. The histological examination of surgical specimen confirmed the diagnosis, showing a cystic structure lined with an epithelium and a common muscle wall shared by the cyst and the duodenum. There was no communication between the cyst and duodenal lumen.

Introduction: Duplication of the gallbladder is a rare congenital malformation associated with the development of cholelithiasis. It increases the risk of iatrogenic bile duct injury during cholecystectomy and can lead to symptom recurrence if missed. Although preoperative imaging is helpful, detection rates are around 50 %.

Double common bile duct (DCBD) is a rare congenital anomaly of the biliary system, characterized by the presence of two common bile ducts. The condition can be classified into five distinct types. Type Va DCBD is one of the rare congenital variations where both bile ducts open separately into the duodenum: one opens normally at the major duodenal papilla, and the second opens independently into the duodenum at a different site, usually proximal to the major duodenal papilla.

Double common bile duct (DCBD), also called extrahepatic biliary duct duplication, is a rare anatomical variation of the biliary anatomy that involves either the presence of a septum within the common bile duct (CBD) or an accessory CBD. The first case of DCBD was reported by Vesarius in 1543. A classification system for DCBD that included five types was proposed in 2007.

Purpose: Intrauterine vesicoamniotic shunting (VAS) was shown to affect survival of male fetuses with megacystis in suspected lower urinary tract obstruction (LUTO). Data on postnatal management are largely lacking. We aim to describe the pathologies diagnosed in children born after vesicoamniotic shunt placement in early pregnancy for megacystis.
