  • Title: Neonatal intussusception due to a cecal duplication cyst.
    Author: Chen Y, Ni YH, Chen CC.
    Journal: J Formos Med Assoc; 2000 Apr; 99(4):352-3. PubMed ID: 10870323.
    Abstract:
    Intussusception in the first month of life is rare; however, it should be considered a distinct clinical and pathologic entity. Cecal duplication as the cause of intussusception in a neonate is extremely rare. We report a case of a newborn with ileocecocolic intussusception. She presented with vomiting and bloody stools. Abdominal sonography revealed a target lesion with a cystic component. We performed a laparotomy and found an ileocecocolic-type intussusception which was caused by a cecal duplication cyst. Right hemicolectomy with ileocolostomy was performed. She remained well at one year follow-up.
