Splenic cysts are one of the relatively rare conditions in pediatric surgery practice. Primary non-parasitic splenic cysts are even more scarce.
A 13-years-old female patient presented with chronic left hypochondrial pain of 2 months duration. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed huge 18 cm × 14 cm × 10 cm splenic cyst. Deroofing of the cyst was done which was complicated by secondary infection. Subsequently, the patient was re-operated on and partial splenectomy done with good outcome at 6 months follow up.
Partial splenectomy is the best management strategy for huge non-parasitic splenic cysts in children. There is also less recurrence rate of splenic cysts with preservation of splenic functions.
脾囊肿是小儿外科实践中相对罕见的病症之一。原发性非寄生虫性脾囊肿更为少见。
一名13岁女性患者出现持续2个月的慢性左季肋部疼痛。腹部超声和计算机断层扫描显示巨大的18厘米×14厘米×10厘米脾囊肿。进行了囊肿去顶术,但出现了继发感染的并发症。随后,患者接受再次手术,进行了部分脾切除术,术后6个月随访结果良好。
部分脾切除术是治疗儿童巨大非寄生虫性脾囊肿的最佳管理策略。保留脾功能的情况下,脾囊肿的复发率也较低。
