A mesenteric cyst is a rare intra-abdominal pathology with little literature to guide us on how to diagnose and manage it. We have reported a 9-year-old girl child who presented with acute abdominal pain and vomiting and was diagnosed with an intra-abdominal cystic mass with midgut volvulus. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy and procedure, which found a large chylolymphatic mesenteric cyst. This cyst is resulting in a volvulus in the small bowel. The gut was derotated and noted to be viable, then a complete excision of the cyst was done with mesenteric repair. Usually, mid-gut volvulus presents in pediatric age groups with malrotation of the gut, but in this case, the gut wasn’t malrotated; it was due to cystic pathology that caused the volvulus. Urge |
