The small intestine is commonly involved ,most common site being the ileum followed by jejunum and duodenum. Most duplication cysts manifest during the first year of life ,although some occasionally manifest in older patients. Children can present with a variety of symptoms including abdominal distention, vomitting, bleeding ,a palpable abdominal mass and rarely with complaints of urinary frequency and hesitancy.
