Abstract
Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital malformations with few re ports of the antenatal sonographic appearance. Early diagnosis is of;paramo unt importance to prevent complications. We present a case of a cystic gast ric duplication diagnosed antenatally at 31 weeks' gestation, which was tre ated successfully. Simultaneously, we review all published cases of prenata lly diagnosed enteric duplications. Copyright (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, L td.
