Duplication of intestine - what does this mean

What happens during the disease - duplication of intestine
Duplication of intestine is a rare congenital anomaly that occurs when an extra segment of intestine is present in the abdominal cavity. it is believed to be caused by an abnormal development of the embryonic foregut during the early stages of fetal development, when the intestine is forming. this can lead to an abnormal separation of the intestinal wall, which results in the formation of a duplicated segment of intestine.
