Neonatal intussusception due to a cecal duplication cyst.
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.
