Observation:

  • A 14-year-old female presented with symptoms of acute abdomen.
  • Diagnostic workup revealed a tail gut cyst.
  • The patient experienced sudden onset abdominal pain.

Findings:

  • Tail gut cyst identified as the cause of acute abdomen.
  • Surgical excision of the cyst was performed.
