- Abstract
Thoraco-abdominal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that can accompany vertebral and spinal cord pathologies and occur most frequently in the small intestines. Symptoms such as respiratory distress, dyspnea, tachypnea, cough, hemoptysis, cyanosis, vomiting and dysphagia may develop depending on the location. The cyst has several clinical and radiological dilemmas. We present a rare case of thoraco-abdominal duplication cyst in a 3-month-old male patient presenting with respiratory distress in the neonatal period. Thoraco-abdominal duplications require a high index of suspicion and meticulous clinical management. Thus, patients can be successfully managed without any unnecessary interventions, complications and loss of time.
