title: Laparoscopic deroofing of congenital solitary liver cyst in a neonate managed at day 16 of life.
abstract: Congenital liver cysts are uncommon lesions, which are being recognized with the increasing use of antenatal ultrasound. In this paper, we report a case of an antenatally diagnosed solitary simple liver cyst managed by laparoscopic deroofing. Laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis and gave information about the relation of the cyst with the liver and portal structures. Laparoscopic deroofing is a safe, effective means of management of the liver cyst in pediatric patients.
