Successful treatment of recurrent abdominopelvic neurenteric cysts by OK-432 injection.
The case of recurrent intraabdominal neurenteric cyst after surgical excision in an infant is described. After several operative resections, we changed therapeutic strategy and performed local injection of OK-432. Indeed, there is experience with the application of OK-432 for other entities, especially lymphangioma, but to our knowledge, there is no report published so far on the treatment of neurenteric cyst with OK-432. We describe for the first time an effective and simple treatment of recurrent neurenteric cyst.
