Abstract

Gastric duplication is a rare congenital gastrointestinal malformation responsible for abdominal pain and digestive disorders in children. When it is not discovered prenatally, it raises the problem of diagnosis of abdominal cystic mass leading to surgical excision with histological confirmation. We report 4 cases of gastric duplication diagnosed in children aged 11 days, 4 months, 6 years and 13 years of the pediatric imaging unit of the southern Teaching hospital of Rennes (France). Our goal is to emphasize on the role of medical imaging in particular the color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis and the monitoring of this uncommon disease of the child.
