Abstract
Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformation, of these, only 4% are gastric origin. It is diagnosed in 80 % of the patients before 2 years of age. Recently, prenatal diagnostic ratio gets higher through sonography and several diagnostic methods. In this paper, we describe a case of a cystic gastric duplication diagnosed prenatally with brief reviews of literature.
