Abstract
Gastrointestinal duplications are rare congenital anomalies. Five percent to 10% of
them are found in the duodenum. Traditionally, these lesions are treated surgically
using either a laparoscopic or open transduodenal approach. We present the successful
endoscopic treatment of a symptomatic duodenal duplication cyst in a 9-year-old girl.
