Adult Cystic Intestinal Duplication of the Ileum Laparoscopically Resected after Preoperative Diagnosis with Cine Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Abdominal Ultrasound: A Case Report

This case highlights the utility of cine MRI and ultrasonography in the preoperative diagnosis of small bowel duplication cysts. In particular, cine MRI provides dynamic visualization of peristaltic movements within the cyst, enabling a confident diagnosis. The migration of the cyst observed on serial MRI examinations further corroborated the origin of this duplication. These findings emphasize the importance of advanced imaging modalities in the diagnosis of rare intestinal anomalies. Preoperative diagnosis of small bowel duplication cysts can be significantly enhanced by using cine MRI and ultrasonography to detect peristaltic movements. These modalities offer critical insights that aid timely surgical intervention and improve outcomes.
