Colonic Duplication Cyst: A Rare Case Report

Intestinal duplication cyst (IDC) is a rare congenital anomaly that can occur anywhere along the alimentary tract. The percentages were reported in the literature regarding different site as following commonly distal ileum 30% followed by esophagus, colon 5%–15%, duodenum 10%, jejunum 8%, stomach 8%, and rectum 4%–5% of all duplication anomalies. Clinical manifestations of intestinal duplications cyst are variable and determined by the type, site, and size of the duplication. Complications, such as perforation, intussusception, bowel obstruction, and volvulus can occur. Case Presentation 1-month-old male patient presented with an intra-abdominal mass since birth. Clinical examination and radiology findings suggest an intestinal duplication cyst. Laparotomy was performed and a non-communicating ascending colon duplication cyst was found. The management was achieved by resection with primary anastomosis. The non-communication cyst was located at ascending colon. Conclusion IDC can present with different clinical symptoms and it is quite difficult to diagnose in neonate patients. Early recognition and treatment can prevent further complication. In this study, the patient was done laparotomy and resection with primary anastomosis.
