“Type C appendicular duplication with patent vitello-intestinal duct—an unforeseen association”—a case report

Abstract Background Gastrointestinal duplications are uncommon occurring in 1 in 5000 live births. Small intestine is commonly involved, while appendicular duplications are extremely rare. Vitelline duct anomalies arise due to failure of involution of the omphalomesenteric duct. Their spectrum range...
