AN UNUSUAL CAUSE OF ABDOMINAL OBSTRUCTION IN A 10-YEAR-OLD BOY SUCCESSFULLY TREATED BY ENDOSCOPY
We report the case of an upper GI obstruction due to an acute bleeding within a duodenal duplication cyst. We performed an endoscopic marsupialization of the cyst. Endoscopic ultrasound was performed : the cyst measured 7.4x4.4 cm with both solid and liquid components. It was punctured to put a guide wire inside. A colonoscope was then with a hood to perform an incision on top of the cyst, following the guidewire. After penetrating inside, a snare was used to remove the remaining clots. A double pigtail stent was placed. The patient was able to eat the following day.
