Enteric duplication cysts can occur anywhere along the length of the gut where they lie along the mesenteric border and share a common muscle wall and blood supply. The duplications commonly occur in the distal ileum and esophagus. Duplication cysts are usually spherical lesions and less often tubular. The communication with the adjacent bowel is uncommon in spherical lesions and is more likely to occur with tubular duplications.

Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of an abdominal mass in the neonate. The most common clinical manifestation of intra-abdominal enteric duplication cysts is intestinal obstruction. Occasionally, haemorrhage or gastrointestinal bleeding may occur due to ectopic gastric mucosa which is seen in 10-20% of cases which makes it visible with technetium-99m pertechnetate scanning and may be of diagnostic value.

Esophageal duplication cyst: duplications of the esophagus are the second most common duplication of the gastrointestinal tract after ileal duplications.
