Insights

Enteric duplication cysts causing small bowel volvulus are rare. This case highlights a 5-month-old infant diagnosed and treated for this condition, emphasizing early surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Enteric duplication cysts are congenital anomalies that can lead to serious complications.
  • Volvulus of the small bowel, a twisting of the intestine, is a surgical emergency.

Observation:

  • A 5-month-old infant presented with symptoms of intestinal obstruction, including abdominal distension and bilious vomiting.
  • Abdominal ultrasound identified an 11 x 4 cm cystic mass in the right lower quadrant.

Findings:

  • Exploratory laparotomy confirmed an enteric duplication cyst.
  • Surgical resection of the cyst was performed and histologically confirmed.

Implications:

  • Enteric duplication cysts pose diagnostic challenges due to varied presentations.
  • Prompt surgical intervention is crucial, especially in resource-limited settings, after adequate resuscitation.
