Abstract

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations of unknown aetiology. Because of improvements in prenatal ultrasound, more and more duplication cysts are found prenatally and treatment is started early. We describe a case of enteric duplication cyst diagnosed prenatally and resected soon after birth. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical treatment are the best way to prevent associated morbidity.
