Abstract
Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract. These can be suspected if cystic lesions are noted in the fetal abdomen during an antenatal ultrasonogram. The differential diagnoses of fetal intra-abdominal cystic lesions include fetal omental cysts, fetal mesenteric cysts, meconium pseudocysts and fetal ovarian cysts. We report an antenatally diagnosed enteric duplication cyst in one of a set of twin fetuses which was managed successfully.
Highlights
Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, with a greater predilection towards the ileal region.[1,2] The reported incidence is 1:4,500 newborns, and the embryogenesis of these anomalies remains controversial.[2]
We report a case of an antenatally diagnosed enteric duplication cyst in one of a set of twins which was managed successfully after birth
Some anomaly was suspected in the second twin during an anatomy scan which would need an evaluation after delivery

Enteric duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract, with a greater predilection towards the ileal region.[1,2] The reported incidence is 1:4,500 newborns, and the embryogenesis of these anomalies remains controversial.[2] They may be either cystic or tubular and present at the mesenteric border of the bowel. These can be suspected antenatally if cystic lesions are noted in the fetal abdomen during an anatomy or growth scan.
