Summary
Adv Res Gastroentero Hepatol Copyright © All rights are reserved by Izabela Jastrzębska. There is no report of gallbladder duplication or other gastrointestinal tract malformations in patients with Noonan syndrome. We present a child with Noonan syndrome, gallbladder duplication, annular pancreas and duodenal stenosis. The presumptive diagnosis of gallbladder duplication was established on the basis of ultrasonographic examination. Endoscopy revealed the presence of septum in stomach fundus, antrum malformation and duodenal duplication with two separate duodenal papillas. Wide spectrum of diagnostic procedures is needed to establish the diagnosis of gastrointestinal malformations. It is especially important if you plan any surgery
