Alimentary tract duplications are rare congenital anomalies that occasionally contain ectopic gastric mucosa that secretes acid peptic juice and can cause pain, ulceration, bleeding and rarely perforation. We report a case of a 2‐year‐old girl who developed perforation of a jejunal duplication lined with ectopic gastric mucosa who was managed surgically.
