“…8 Prenatal sonography only identifies approximately one in four of these lesions (20 to 30%). 3 In our case, an umbilical cord cyst was diagnosed because prenatal sonography showed a cystic mass within the umbilical cord without evidence of relation or communication with the bowel. Umbilical cord cysts are classified into two types, true cysts and pseudocysts.…”

“…7 The differential diagnosis of intraabdominal cysts detected by prenatal sonography includes ovarian cysts, enteric duplication cysts, renal cysts, choledochal cysts, hepatic cysts, mesenteric or omental cysts, dilated bowel loops of intestinal atresia and Meckel's diverticulum. 3 Sonographic findings highly suggestive of an intestinal origin of the cyst are peristaltic muscular contractions of the cyst wall and intimate contact of the cyst wall with the mesenteric border. 8,9 However, the prenatal diagnosis of ED is difficult and rarely reported.…”

We report a case of a neonatal male with a prenatal diagnosis of umbilical cord cyst that was finally diagnosed as an ileal duplication cyst after postnatal surgical exploration of the umbilical mass. To our knowledge, a similar case has never been reported previously. Although this form of presentation of enteric duplication cyst is exceptional, it should be taken into consideration when evaluating suspected umbilical cord cysts.

“…The same procedure was applied to the other two cases, except for the cecal enterotomy. Cyst removal together with the common ileal wall and following enterorrhaphy Uneventful necessary to perform a more extensive resection with loss of the valve [13]. Summarizing the literature data, IC duplications are more frequently cystic lesions of varying size, share a common blood supply and wall with the ileum for a few centimeters from the valve and compress the cecum.…”

Background: Ileocecal (IC) duplication cysts are enteric duplications located at the IC junction, not clearly identified in all the published series. The reported treatment is IC resection and ileocolic anastomosis. It is well known that the loss of the IC valve has several adverse effects. This study is aimed at demonstrating that cyst removal together with the common ileal wall and following enterorrhaphy is possible, safe, and effective in preserving the IC region. Methods: Medical records of 3 patients who underwent surgery for IC duplication between 2003 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed evaluating follow-up results. Results: All patients had an antenatal diagnosis of intraabdominal cystic mass. In two cases associated malformations were reported. The lesions presented at newborn age with intermittent small bowel obstruction and required removal. No patients underwent IC resection. The diagnosis of duplication cyst was confirmed by histo-pathologic examination. The postoperative course was uneventful, even in the long-term follow-up. Conclusions: Our conservative approach is a simple and safe technique, effective in avoiding the loss of the IC valve in children with duplication at the IC junction.
