Endoscopic Partial Resection of a Duodenal Duplication Cyst

A case of symptomatic duodenal duplication cyst is reported. The patient underwent endoscopic partial resection of the cystic wall using the O-ring ligation kit. After resection, the abdominal pain disappeared. Endoscopic partial resection is useful for diagnosis and treatment of duodenal duplication cyst.
