Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study is to report a unique association of clinical and pathological findings in a neonate. Foregut enteric duplication cysts--rare developmental anomalies that are associated with midline vertebral fusion anomalies. METHODS: We had a neonate with foregut duplication cyst who presented at birth with respiratory distress. The child also had associated communicating hydrocephalus. The patient underwent excision of the duplication cyst along with a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. RESULT: The excised specimen revealed a duplication cyst lined by aberrant pancreatic tissue. CONCLUSION: The present case demonstrates histologically the presence of both pancreatic and gastric tissue.
