Description
An 8-month-old female infant presented with a 2-day history of vomiting, diarrhoea and fever. Physical examination revealed a painful right abdomen. Laboratory tests showed a C-reactive protein of 140 mg/L (normal: <6 mg/L) and a white blood cell count of 12.8x109/L (normal: 4–15x109/L). Ultrasound of the abdomen revealed a paracolic cystic mass of 1.4x5 cm with septations from the lower part of the liver into the right fossa with no signs of volvulus or intussusception (figure 1). Abdominal CT confirmed the cystic mass and revealed signs of infection. MRI of the abdomen suggested an enteric duplication cyst as the most likely diagnosis (figure 2).
