Introduction: Foregut duplication cysts are rare mediastinal malformations that can cause life-threatening respiratory compromise in early infancy and are often misdiagnosed on initial imaging.
Presentation Of Case: A three-month-old boy, born at 37 weeks, developed progressive respiratory distress and cyanosis unresponsive to pneumonia therapy. Chest radiography suggested a hiatal hernia, whereas thoracic ultrasound showed a multiloculated cyst.

Duplications of the gastrointestinal tract are congenital anomalies characterized by a heterogeneous clinical presentation and challenging diagnostic and therapeutic processes. A systematic review was conducted on intrapancreatic gastric duplications in the pediatric population, and we present two clinical cases of patients with this condition. Intrapancreatic gastric duplication is an extremely rare congenital anomaly with variable clinical manifestations and complex management.

Esophageal duplication cysts are a rare form of foregut developmental abnormality with heterogeneous manifestations due to their variable location and size. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a congenital defect resulting from incomplete diaphragm formation, with a wide spectrum of severity. It is typically diagnosed antenatally and managed surgically in the neonatal period.

This process is likely related to failure of endodermal cell separation from ectodermal counterparts during week 3 of development, and symptoms depend on location and degree of encroachment on surrounding structures.
