Abstract

Foregut duplications occurring in tongue have very few reports in literature. These oral and esophageal lesions may cause feeding and respiratory difficulties. For surgical excision securing airway in these babies is very challenging, as visualization of glottis is hampered, because of lack of space in the mouth. We report a case of twelve hours old neonate referred to our institute for the excision of intraoral swelling under general anaesthesia which was revealed as gastric duplication cyst histopathologically.
