Multiple duplication cysts diagnosed prenatally: case report and review of the literature.
Enteric duplication cysts (EDC) are typically solitary lesions that occur throughout the alimentary tract. Postnatal diagnosis is often prompted when complications occur from bleeding, obstruction, or infection. We present a case of multiple EDC diagnosed prenatally, managed with prenatal and neonatal follow-up and resection in infancy. Prenatal detection allowed for optimal management prior to the development of symptoms or complications.
