Duplication cyst with midgut volvulus in a neonate: an unusual presentation

Abstract: Incomplete intestinal fixation or malrotation of gut with midgut volvulus is one of the important causes of bilious vomiting in neonates. The incidence of malrotation of gut in population is 4% and that of duplication cyst is 1:4500. Patients with malrotation are prone to develop midgut volvulus due to their narrow mesenteric base demanding urgent surgical intervention. Common associated anomalies are intrinsic duodenal obstruction, internal hernias, caecal volvulus, anorectal malformations and Hirschsprung’s … Show more

“…This may occur due to the presence of heterotopic gastric mucosa, which is present in about 40% of esophageal duplications, one-third of small bowel duplications, and less than 10% of colorectal duplications. [10] In this case, although there was a simple cyst adjacent to the stomach, no melena or intestinal obstruction was observed.…”

“…GI tract obstruction remains one of the most frequent causes of postnatal admission to pediatric surgery units, with the most common causes being anorectal malformations, esophageal obstruction, and duodenal obstruction, with incidence rates hovering at 41%, 24%, and 20%, respectively [ 6 ]. A myriad of underlying etiologies can culminate in intestinal obstruction.…”
