Abstract
The antenatal appearance of gastrointestinal duplication cysts is desc ribed. Two cases are presented: a duplication cyst of the pylorus and a cyst of the terminal ileum. The embryogenesis and the clinical utili ty of prenatal diagnosis of these malformations of the alimentary trac t are discussed. Antenatal detection of these cystic masses allowed cl ose neonatal surveillance and timely surgical intervention prior to ne onatal complications.
