  • Title: [Intestinal cystic duplication in infants and the etiology of intussusception].
    Author: Kasis A, Sabo E, Mogilner JG, Boss J.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1993 Nov 15; 125(10):350-2, 391. PubMed ID: 8253402.
    Abstract:
    2 infants, 3 months old and 8 months, respectively, with restlessness and vomiting were each found to have ileocolic intussusception with barium filling defects. Laparotomy disclosed in each a dome-shaped structure, 2 cm and 0.6 cm in greatest diameter, respectively, on the antimesenteric side of the ileal wall. Histological examination showed cystic duplication of the ileum. It is suggested that manual reduction generally fails when cystic duplication is an etiological factor, and surgery is then mandatory.
