Duodenal duplication cyst identified with MRCP

Eur Radiol. 2000;10(8):1277-9. doi: 10.1007/s003309900286.

Abstract

We report a case of a stalked cystic duodenal duplication. The lesion, hyperintense on T2-weighted GRE images, maintained the signal intensity after oral administration of a negative contrast agent (Lumirem, Guerbet, Aulnay-Sous-Bois, France), confirming its independence from the duodenal lumen. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of duodenal duplication by means of MR cholangiopancreatography.
