Clinical Outcome of Sclerotherapy or Laparoscopic Cyst Excision As Initial Management for Non-parasitic Splenic Cysts in Children

✓ The radiographic features and long-term clinical outcome in three patients who presented at birth with a cystic suboccipital mass in direct communication with the fourth ventricle are reviewed. The pathological findings in a fourth infant who died are also discussed. All surviving infants were treated with cyst excision and diversion of cerebrospinal fluid. The prognosis in these children, followed from 6 to 20 years, surpasses that of the more common occipital encephalocele, for which this entity could be mistaken. The morphogenetic implications relative to more common congenital lesions in this location are discussed.

Splenic cyst is a relatively rare disease. They may occur secondary to trauma or even being more seldom due to parasitic infections, mainly caused by ecchinococcus granulosus. This patient had an atypical symptomatology, consisted mainly of fullness in the left upper abdomen and a palpable mass. Preoperative diagnosis was established with ultrasonography and computerized tomography. lmmunohistochemistry allows differential diagnosis between epidermoid and mesothelial cyst. For many years, open splectomy was the accepted treatment. Laparoscopic partial splenectomy is a procedure for the treatment of splenic cysts, because it cures the disease preserving the splenic tissue. Complete splenectomy is reserved for cases in which cyst excision cannot be done otherwise. Journal of Surgical Sciences (2012) Vol. 16 (2) : 101-105

Persistent Abdominal Pain

Splenic cysts are extremely rare. We present the case of a young female child who presented with a massive splenic cyst arising from the lower pole of the spleen. We offered surgical intervention in view of persistent abdominal pain and the large size of the cyst, which was predisposing it to traumatic rupture and restricting the child’s normal activities. Cyst excision with splenic preservation was successfully achieved via a laparoscopic lower pole splenectomy. Histology confirmed a benign epidermoid cyst. The case presentation is followed by a brief review of literature.

Upper Abdomen

Primary splenic cyst is a relatively rare disease, and the majority of cases are classified as epithelial (epidermoid) cysts. Two cases with epithelial splenic cysts are presented. Both cases had some similar symptomatology, like fullness in the left upper abdomen and a palpable mass. Preoperative radiological diagnosis was pancreatic pseudocysts. Exploratory laparotomy and partial splenectomy was done. The post operative period was uneventful in both the cases.Because of post-splenectomy sepsis, the management has shifted to splenic preservation when feasible. Partial splenectomy is an acceptable procedure for the treatment of splenic cysts which are suitably located, because it cures the disease preserving the splenic tissue. Complete splenectomy is reserved for cases in which cyst excision cannot be done otherwise. Keywords: epithelial splenic cysts; partial splenectomy; splenic preservation.
