Abstract
A pathology well known by pediatric surgeons, ileal duplication is in rare instances a cause of acute surgical abdomen in adults; that said, its atypical presentation often leads it to be mistaken for other etiologies. Even though it is benign in children, the risk of malignant transformation in adults should be taken into account in surgical procedures.
