Cecal Duplication Cyst Presenting With Hematochezia

Year: 2025

Type: article

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.
