Sumario: | Gastrointestinal duplication is a rare congenital condition that involves tissues anywhere along the alimentary tract.

It typically presents in children and is hardly found in adults because the presentation varies and the diagnosis is often incidental. Surgical resection is generally indicated to prevent future complications. We present a case of duplicated small bowel discovered during surgery in a young female with the initial diagnosis of small bowel intussusception on CT. |
