Abstract
Introduction: Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations in children and can develop anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to the rectum, the ileum is the most common site followed by oesophagus, jejunum, stomach, and duodenum.
Presentation of Case: A 15-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital with the complaint of cramping intermittent pain mainly in his right lower abdomen for 2 days. Ultrasonogram of the abdomen showed a hollow structure in the right iliac fossa with perforation. After initial resuscitation emergency exploratory laparotomy was performed which revealed Enteric duplication cysts.
Discussion: Once the diagnosis of Enteric duplication cysts has been made, treatment is necessary to improve the symptoms and to prevent serious complications, including intestine obstruction, intussusception, or hematochezia.
Conclusion: In conclusion, this case of an intestinal duplication cyst presented with an acute abdomen. Although such conditions are more common in children and extremely rare in adults, they have to be considered for a differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
