A diverticulum of the small intestine is a condition with only a low morbidity. This is generally a Meckel's diverticulum (MD). There is, however, the possibility of another congenital malformation, which can closely resemble a MD but has another etiology, the tubular duplication of the small intestine. In a period of three months six patients were treated with a MD with different clinical presentations and histologic findings and an invaginated duplication of the small intestine in a male adult patient. The diagnosis of a tubular duplication of the small intestine is not often considered when finding a diverticulum of the small intestine and such a malformation is too easily called a Meckel's diverticulum.
小肠憩室是一种发病率较低的病症。这通常是梅克尔憩室（MD）。然而，存在另一种先天性畸形的可能性，它可能与梅克尔憩室极为相似，但病因不同，即小肠管状重复畸形。在三个月的时间里，有六例梅克尔憩室患者接受了治疗，他们具有不同的临床表现和组织学发现，还有一名成年男性患者患有小肠套叠性重复畸形。当发现小肠憩室时，小肠管状重复畸形的诊断往往不被考虑，而且这种畸形太容易被称为梅克尔憩室了。
