Two newborn girls had malrotation, small bowel in a subdiaphragmatic location on the right and leftward displacement of the liver. On antenatal scans, each had been diagnosed as having a large intra-abdominal cyst, but this had disappeared in both by the time of delivery. Both infants were asymptomatic at birth. One baby had a wrinkled abdominal wall, which is typically a component of prune belly syndrome. Both babies underwent Ladd procedure for their malrotation. In one, plate-like calcification over the hepatic capsule was the only residue of the previous cyst. In the other, mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver was diagnosed from histology of a collapsed adherent cyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
