Abstract
A three year old boy with a 10 cm double-barrelled tubular duplication of the distal ileum is reported. He presented with a small bowel obstruction after a large meal of mandarin oranges. At laparotomy an obstruction of both lumens was found which communicated at both ends with the normal ileal lumen. Although cystic duplications of the small intestine are common, tubular duplications are relatively rare, especially an obstruction with impacted undigested foods.
