A Rare Cause of Acute Abdomen: Mesenteric Cyst Torsion
Abstract
Mesenteric cysts are seen rarely and most of
them are seen in the childhood period. The lack of characteristic clinical
features and radiological signs may present great diagnostic difficulties. The
cyst may present with diffuse abdominal swelling, abdominal pain or abdominal
mass. Malignant cysts occur in less than 2% cases. Surgery is the treatment of
choice.
