Çocuklarda İleusun Nadir Nedeni: Mezenter Kisti Torsiyonu

Year 2015, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 143 - 146, 01.06.2015

Abstract

Mezenter kisti abdominal kitlelerin nadir nedenlerinden biridir. Karakteristik klinik bulgu vermemesi ve radyolojik görüntüleme yöntemlerinin spesifik olmaması nedeniyle tanı koymak güçtür. Genellikle komplike olmamış olgularda abdominal distansiyonla kendini gösterir.1.5 yaşında erkek hasta 2 gün öncesinde başlayan karın ağrısı safralı kusma şikayetlerinin devam etmesi üzerine tedavi için kliniğimize yatırıldı. Fizik muayenede abdominal distansyonu olan hastanın, ayakta direkt karın grafide multipl, keskin hava sıvı seviyeleri olup, distalde gaz yoktu. Hasta operasyona alındı. 10x10cm çapında büyük bir mezenter kist torsiyonu nedeniyle mevcut kliniğin oluştuğu görüldü, komşuluğundaki meckel divertiküyle birlikte bu mesafedeki iskemik ans çıkarıldı ve ileal segment uç uca anastomoz yapıldı. Postop 4. günde beslenen hastanın 6. gün sorunsuz taburcusu edildi.Komplike olmamış mezenter kistlerini ultrasonda bağırsaklardan ayırt etmek oldukça zordur. Karın şişkinliği ile gelen ve olası karın içi sıvı artışı nedenleri saptanmayan hastalarda mezenter kistini ayırıcı tanıda düşünmek gerekir. Görüntülemede ultrason ve tomografi katkı sağlar. Ek anomali olabileceği unutulmamalıdır. Cerrahi eksizyon tedavi için yeterlidir.

A Rare Cause of Ileus in Children: Torsion of the Mesenteric Cyst

Year 2015, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 143 - 146, 01.06.2015

Abstract

Mesenteric cyst is a rare cause of abdominal mass and is difficult to diagnose because of the lack of characteristic clinical findings and the nonspecific radiological follow-up methods. The initial manifestation is usually abdominal distension in uncomplicated cases.A 1.5-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of abdominal pain that had started two days earlier together with ongoing bilious vomiting for the last two days. On physical examination, multiple cavities with definite airfluid levels were seen but no gas was present in the distal bowel despite the abdominal distension. Surgery verified the presence of a large 10x10 cm mesenteric cyst torsion and an accompanying Meckel’s diverticulum, The ischemic bowel loop at this area was resected and an end-to-end anastomosis performed for the ileal segments. The case was able to tolerate oral feeding on the 4th post-operative day and was discharged with no complaints on the sixth day.It is difficult to distinguish uncomplicated mesenteric cysts from normal intestines on USG. Mesenteric cysts should be considered in differential diagnosis in patients admitted with complaints of abdominal distension where the reason for the increased intra-abdominal fluid is unknown. USG and tomography can be helpful in the follow-up. Additional abnormalities should also be taken into account, and surgical excision is sufficient for treatment
