Duplication of the alimentary tract is a rare congenital anomaly. Gastric duplication cysts (GDCs) represent 4% of all alimentary tract duplications, and approximately 67% manifest within the first year of life. Herein, we report three cases of symptomatic GDC presenting in childhood. In the three cases the duplication was symptomatic; the exam revealed middle epigastric tenderness; The CT Scan confirms the diagnosis. Exploratory laparotomy with sub total resection of the duplication with mucoclasya were performed. Pathology in three cases was diagnostic of GDC.
