ABSTRACT
A 5-year-old boy was seen for a second opinion as he had episodes of severe abdominal pain and a variably distended abdomen. Ultrasonography showed a suspected duplication cyst of the terminal ileum. A laparoscopically assisted resection was performed. Histology confirmed the diagnosis of a duplication cyst. A few months later a 10-year-old boy presented with a history of abdominal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasonography showed an intussusception halfway up the transverse colon where a cyst was seen with a fluid level. The intussusception was reduced during laparoscopy and resection of the duplication cyst of the ileum was performed. Although intestinal duplication cysts are rare (prevalence 14500), it is important to know they exist. Laparoscopically assisted resection is an elegant way of treating duplication cysts in children.
