Cecal Duplication Cyst Presenting With Hematochezia

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can present with nonspecific symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. We present a case of a 13-month-old woman with hematochezia, initially diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis, who was later found to have a cecal duplication cyst on imaging. Surgical resection with ileocecectomy was performed, and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of cecal duplication cyst. Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for preventing complications such as bowel obstruction and perforation, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Abstract

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can present with nonspecific symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. We present a case of a 13-month-old woman with hematochezia, initially diagnosed with viral gastroenteritis, who was later found to have a cecal duplication cyst on imaging. Surgical resection with ileocecectomy was performed, and pathology confirmed the diagnosis of cecal duplication cyst. Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach are essential for preventing complications such as bowel obstruction and perforation, ensuring optimal outcomes.
