Enteric Duplication Cyst.

A 10 days old male child, weighing 2.5 kg, presented with bilious vomiting since day 5 of life. USG of the abdomen showed presence of a cystic lesion in the upper abdomen. Further evaluation with CT scan of the abdomen was done, which showed the presence of a cystic lesion at duodeno-jejunal flexure causing compression and narrowing of that part of intestine.


Patient was taken up for surgery, entire duodeno-jejunal flexure was mobilized along with the cyst, and it was excised along with a part of distal duodenum and proximal jejunum followed by end-to-end duodeno-jejunal anastomosis.


Postoperative period was uneventful and the child was discharged on 8th postoperative day.
