Résumé
The authors describe a case of a male neonate with split notochord syndrome presenting with cervico-thoracic deformity, thoracic neuroenteric cyst, separate abdominal duodenal duplication cyst and concurrent intestinal malrotation. This combination of abnormalities is very rare. When these lesions are suspected, patients must be investigated carefully.This case is presented not only to recount an infrequent combination of structural abnormalities but also to raise awareness of the signs that should point to clinical suspicion and prompt diagnosis.Following surgical excision of the thoracic neuroenteric cyst, the patient has made a good recovery.
