Abstract
Enteric duplication cysts are rare lesions, and relatively few cases h ave been diagnosed prenatally. We report two cases with a distinctive presentation One, a duplication of the antrum of the stomach, was adja cent to an extralobar pulmonary sequestration. The other, a duodenal d uplication, appeared as a thick-walled right lower quadrant cyst. We o bserved distinct peristalsis in this cyst, a finding that helped us ma ke a firm diagnosis of enteric duplication.
