Computed tomographic appearence of enteric duplication cyst in adult patient: A case report and literature review Aspectos morfológicos en tomografía computada de un quiste de duplicación intestinal en adulto: Reporte de caso clínico y revisión de la lite

Abstract

Enteric duplication cysts are uncommon congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract that may arise anywhere along the digestive tract. They most frequently occur in the small intestine (terminal ileum) on its mesenteric border and rarely communicate with the digestive tract. Enteric duplication cysts are usually asymptomatic and diagnosed during childhood (first 2 years of life). We report a case of unusual presentation in an asymptomatic 21-year-old patient, who was diagnosed by contrast-enhanced multislice computed tomography. Keywords: Computed tomography, Enteric duplication cyst.
