Cystic Nontubular Jejunal Duplication Cyst Presenting As Acute Intestinal Obstruction: A Surgical Challenge
2021
Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that present with a vague constellation of symptoms such as vomiting and abdominal distension. Of these, cystic nontubular jejunal duplication cysts comprise an exceedingly small subset. Here, we delineate the case of a two-month-old female baby who presented with symptoms suggestive of acute intestinal obstruction. Radiological workup divulged a cystic lesion, which was subsequently confirmed to be a cystic nontubular jejunal duplication cyst with extensive intestinal wall sharing. Surgical excision was planned but posed a remarkable surgical challenge due to intestinal wall sharing and the cyst's exceedingly fibrotic nature.
