Abstract

Mesenteric cysts are one of the least common intraabdominal lesions, which are very rare in neonates. Among mesenteric cysts, a chylous cyst is the rarest one of all. This entity can be found anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract from the duodenum to the rectum. Mesenteric cysts may be asymptomatic and found on routine examinations, or can present with symptoms such as abdominal pain, palpable mass, abdominal distension and intestinal obstruction. We report a rare case of chylous mesenteric cyst in a neonate, who presented with symptoms of the intestinal obstruction along with the review of the literature.

저자들은 수막구균성 뇌수막염으로 치료받던 환아에서 순조로운 치료 경과를 보이던 중 장관 폐쇄 증상이 발현되어 유미성 장간막 낭종으로 진단된 후 수술을 통해 치료된 신생아를 경험하였기에 그 임상 경과를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
