title: Bilateral inflamed paratubal cysts.
abstract: Paramesonephric duct remnants are an infrequent cause of abdominal symptoms in childhood. Preoperative diagnosis is often difficult and diagnosis is usually made at surgery. We report a rare presentation of an acute abdomen in a child with bilateral inflamed fimbrial cysts. Ultrasound revealed the presence of a multicystic lesion behind bladder. It was only at laparotomy the diagnosis of bilateral inflamed fimbrial cysts was establsihed. These were excised and the child made an uneventful post operative recovery.
