[Splenic cysts in childhood].
One of the rare surgical diseases of the organs in the abdominal cavity in children are the splenic cysts. For a period of 20 years (1968-1988) 3 children have been observed and treated at the Clinic of Pediatric Surgery in Sofia. The use of modern diagnostic methods--echography, computer axial tomography, scintigraphy and laparoscopy furnished an opportunity for precise preoperative organ localization of the disease in the patients observed by the authors. Partial resection of the spleen in this pathology with good postoperative results, performed for the first time in Bulgaria, encouraged the authors to recommend organ-preserving operation as the method of choice in nonparasitic cysts of the spleen.
