Surgical management of an intussuscepted duodenal duplication cyst in a pediatric patient with heterotaxy

Abstract

Duodenal duplication cysts are rare congenital abnormalities. We report the case of a 16 year old female who presented with pancreatitis and duodenal intussusception and was subsequently diagnosed with heterotaxy, malrotation and a duodenal duplication cyst. She underwent open surgical management with successful excision of the cyst. The literature is reviewed and discussed.
