Key Points

This case highlights the presentation and surgical management of isolated intestinal duplication cysts in older children.
Laparoscopic resection performed to remove the cyst
Clinical examination to differentiate from mesenteric cysts
Post-operative evaluation for intestinal continuity
Successful laparoscopic removal of the cyst
Definitive diagnosis established post-surgery
Intestinal continuity preserved after the procedure

Abstract

This case illustrates that completely isolated intestinal duplication cysts may present in older children and mimic mesenteric cysts, and that laparoscopic resection allows definitive diagnosis while preserving intestinal continuity.
