Abstract


Esophageal duplication (ED) is a rare congenital anomaly, representing 10%-15% of all foregut duplications. Neonates may present with respiratory distress, while older children usually present with dysphagia. We report here a rare case of tubular duplication of the esophagus presenting with dysphagia in a 12-year-old Saudi boy.
