Enterogenous cyst of the duodenum simulating pyloric stenosis: Report of a case in an infant with recovery followinggastroenterostomy

Abstract

Summary An enterogenous cyst of the duodenum in a four-week-old baby was treated successfully by gastrojejunostomy. The only other successfully treated case reported in the literature was that of a gril operated on at the age of fifteen years. Altogether eight cases have been described, five of these occurring in females and one in a male. In two cases the sex was not recorded. The clinical manifestations are usually those of pyloric obstruction.
