Gastric duplication associated with pancreas divisum diagnosed by a multidisciplinary approach before surgery

World J Gastroenterol. 2010 Feb 28;16(8):1031-3. doi: 10.3748/wjg.v16.i8.1031.

Abstract

We report a unique case of communicating gastric duplication associated with pancreas divisum, diagnosed with a multidisciplinary approach, including X-rays, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, ultrasound endoscopy and histology. We believe that this approach constitutes a fuller diagnostic evaluation, resulting in better and safer surgery.
