Abstract:
Ileocecal duplication is a rare congenital gastrointestinal abnormality,with lesions predominantly localized near the ileocecal valve and manifesting as cystic structures.Clinically,it presents with diverse symptoms,including abdominal pain,vomiting,abdominal mass,etc.However,symptoms such as intussusception and appendicitis are easily confused with it.Furthermore,the imaging features of ileocecal duplication are nonspecific,which further increases the risk of misdiagnosis.Treatment options include laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy.Notably,laparoscopic surgery is highly feasible,especially for infants and young children,and achieves a prognosis comparable to that of laparotomy.In the case report presented in this study,a 1-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain.Definitive diagnosis could not be established through comprehensive imaging examinations,and the diagnosis of ileocecal duplication cyst was ultimately confirmed surgically.Additionally,the diagnosis,imaging features,treatment,and prognosis of ileocecal duplication are systematically collated and summarized.
