Thoraco-abdominal enteric duplication is a rare congenital anomaly in which a portion of the gastrointestinal tract is duplicated. It is characterized by the presence of two separate tracts of the gastrointestinal tract, one in the thoracic cavity and one in the abdominal cavity. The duplication can involve any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the esophagus to the rectum. Symptoms vary depending on the location and extent of the duplication, but can include abdominal pain, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the duplicated tract.

Thoraco-abdominal enteric duplication is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs when a portion of the gastrointestinal tract is duplicated. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is believed to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Possible causes include genetic mutations, environmental exposures, and abnormal embryonic development.

1. Surgical excision: This is the most common treatment for thoraco-abdominal enteric duplication. The goal of the surgery is to remove the entire duplication cyst and any associated tissue.

2. Endoscopic resection: This is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to remove smaller duplication cysts.

3. Laparoscopic resection: This is a more complex procedure that involves making small incisions in the abdomen and using a laparoscope to view and remove the duplication cyst.

4. Open resection: This is a more invasive procedure that involves making a larger incision in the abdomen and removing the duplication cyst.

5. Embolization: This is a procedure that involves blocking the blood supply to the duplication cyst, which can cause it to shrink or disappear.

At this time, there is no cure for thoraco-abdominal enteric duplication. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the affected tissue. Medications may be prescribed to help manage symptoms such as pain and discomfort.
