Acute Abdomen Caused by Infected Mesenteric Cyst
Valerie Van Ballaer, Nico Hustings
TL;DR
This paper highlights the importance of using computed tomography to diagnose infected mesenteric cysts, which can cause acute abdomen and may become cancerous.
Contribution
The paper emphasizes the diagnostic value of computed tomography in identifying infected mesenteric cysts and the need for surgical confirmation.
Findings
Computed tomography is essential for timely diagnosis of infected mesenteric cysts.
Complete excision is required to confirm the diagnosis due to the risk of malignant transformation.
Abstract
Teaching point: Computed tomography is essential for timely diagnosing infected mesenteric cysts as a cause of acute abdomen, ultimately requiring complete excision to confirm diagnosis given the potential of malignant transformation.
