Abstract
Ultrasonography is useful in the evaluation of enteric duplication cys ts in infants. Typically, there is an anechoic fluid-filled lumen with a double-layered surrounding wall. This case report documents an addi tional sonographic finding which has not been recorded: peristaltic co ntractions of the cyst wall. This provides a real-time observation whi ch is specific in the pre-operative diagnosis of neonatal cystic abdom inal masses.
