Abstract
A 4-year-old boy presented with acute abdominal pain and a 1-year hist ory of intermittent umbilical complaints. Ultrasonographic examination demonstrated a large cyst in the lower abdomen divided by a thin memb rane. With micturition, impaired bladder function was expected. Initia l suprapubic drainage produced 1,000 ml dark-brown liquid. Laparotomy revealed an ileal duplication cyst. Preoperative computed tomography a nd laparoscopy with the cyst drained did not further clarify the diagn osis.
