Alimentary duplication is a rare congenital disease with a reported incidence of 1 per 4500 persons, although the exact incidence has been difficult to ascertain. According to previous reports, the most common site of duplication is the ileum, and colonic duplication is rare. Due to different types and locations of the duplication, the manifestations are varied, which makes establishing an accurate diagnosis before surgery a challenge.
