Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Congenital Abnormalities

Background:

  • Enterogenous tubular duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies originating from the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Inguino-scrotal hernias are common in pediatric surgery, but typically caused by patent processus vaginalis.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old male presented with symptoms of an obstructed inguino-scrotal hernia.
  • Imaging and intraoperative findings confirmed the presence of an enterogenous tubular duplication cyst within the hernia sac.

Findings:

  • The duplication cyst was identified as the cause of the intestinal obstruction and hernia.
  • Surgical management involved resection of the cyst and repair of the hernia.

Implications:
