Abstract
Duplication of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare congenital malformation that can occur throughout the length of the digestive tract. The duplication of the colon on a long section connected with the light of the digestive tract is a relatively rare form of gastrointestinal tract duplication. This defect is a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problem due to non-characteristic symptoms. Imaging diagnostics allows to correctly recognize gastrointestinal duplication in only 25% of cases. The authors present the case of a girl who was hospitalized many times at the Department of Pediatric Surgery due to recurrent abdominal pain of various types character. Variable clinical symptoms and diagnostic difficulties have caused delay in making a diagnosis of tubular double colon. The final diagnosis was made only after two computed tomography, which was performed due to the rapidly deteriorating and unclear patients condition. The postoperative period after resection of the double intestine proceeded with a wide spectrum of complications that required long-term hospitalization. Duplication of the colon is a difficult diagnostic problem. Non-characteristic symptoms and unclear imaging results delay the diagnosis and expose the patient to complications.
