Enteric Duplication Cyst With Segmental Gut Volvulus in an Infant: A Case Report.

Enteric duplication cyst with volvulus of the small bowel is an infrequent clinical condition. A 5-month-old infant presented with signs of intestinal obstruction, including abdominal distension and bilious vomiting. Abdominal ultrasound revealed an 11 × 4 cm cystic mass in the right lower quadrant, and an exploratory laparotomy confirmed the presence of an enteric duplication cyst, which was then surgically resected and histologically confirmed. Duplication cysts present a diagnostic challenge for surgeons due to their varied presentations, requiring a high index of suspicion for diagnosis, and in resource-limited settings, early surgical intervention after adequate resuscitation may be necessary.
