Repeated malformations of the digestive tract

Repetitive malformation of the digestive tract refers to a spherical or tubular cavity mass attached to the mesentery side of the digestive tract and has the same characteristics as the digestive tract. It is a relatively rare congenital malformation. It can occur in any part of the digestive tract, but the most common is the ileum, followed by the esophagus, colon, duodenum, stomach, rectum, etc. Of the 800 cases reported, the small intestine accounted for 57.4% and the thoracic cavity accounted for 19.9 %, Colorectal 9.9%, duodenum 7.1%, stomach 3.8%, chest and abdomen 1.8%. Each organ has its own predilection sites, such as the esophagus in the right posterior mediastinum, the stomach on the major curve, the duodenum on the inside or the back, the small intestine on the mesangial side, the colon on the inside, and the rectum on the back . There are certain rules for malformations associated with other systems, such as repeated deformities in the thorax combined with spinal deformities such as hemivertebrae and spina bifida, and repeated intestines can be combined with urogenital malformations.
