Renal failure as a result of mesenteric cyst.
The authors report a rare case of renal failure secondary to abdominal cyst in a newborn girl. The clinical presentation was one of a largely distended abdomen coupled with anuria. The histopathologic and clinical findings suggest mesenteric cyst causing renal failure by mass effect.
