Mesenteric cysts are rare lesions and they are usually asymptomatic. Acute abdomen caused by infection of cyst is a very rare complication. We present a child with mesenteric cyst who presented acute abdomen and was treated with total cystectomy. Although mesenteric cysts are usually asymptomatic, they may cause serious complications. So, even if they are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally, these cysts should be closely monitored and surgical treatment should be considered for large cysts.
Mezenterik kistler nadir lezyonlardır ve genellikle asemptomatiktirler. Kist enfeksiyonunun neden olduğu akut karın, bu lezyonların çok nadir görülen bir komplikasyonudur. Biz çalışmamızda; akut karın bulgularıyla başvuran ve total kistektomi ile tedavi edilen enfekte mezenter kistli bir çocuğu sunuyoruz. Mezenterik kistler genellikle asemptomatik olmalarına rağmen ciddi komplikasyonlara neden olabilirler. Bu yüzden, asemptomatik olsalar ve tesadüfen teşhis edilmiş olsalar bile, bu kistler yakından izlenmeli ve büyük kistler için cerrahi tedavi düşünülmelidir.
