Abstract
© 2018, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University. This article presents images and imaging features of unusual abdominal cysts in pediatric population. Recognition of imaging features and their location are helpful in diagnosis and therapeutic decision. Meconium pseudocyst usually has calciied wall and may contain debri or air. Lymphangioma can be located in mesentery or omentum and presents as uni or multilocular cyst. Pseudocyst is the most common complication of acute pancreatitis. Ovarian cyst is sometimes present as an abdominal mass in the newborn and young child. Cystic mass containing fat and calciications is the pathognomonic inding of mature cystic teratoma. Duplication cyst has gut signature or double wall sign on ultrasound. Communication with bile duct is the helpful clue in diagnosis of choledochal cyst. When adrenal hemorrhage liqueies, it becomes cystic and gradually decreases in size.
