Cystic rectal duplication: a rare cause of neonatal bladder-outlet obstruction and hydronephrosis.
A case of cystic rectal duplication (RD) is presented. A 7-day-old female was admitted with acute urinary retention, voiding difficulty, and abdominal distention since she was 4 days of age. Ultrasound and abdominal computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a huge, cystic mass in the pelvis and abdomen that resulted in acute urinary retention and bilateral hydronephrosis. CT-guided drainage of the lesion followed by transabdominal surgical excision resulted in a cure. Pathologic examination demonstrated a RD lined by respiratory epithelium.
