Abstract:
Introduction: Intraperitoneal cysts are rarely encountered pathologies, but quite serious, which have
attracted special attention.
Purpose: to improve diagnosis and of surgical treatment of intraperitoneal cysts at the children by
developing an algorithm for diagnosis and treatment.
Aims:
1 To establish at the early stage intraperitoneal cysts at the children
2 To determine the clinical evolution features of intraperitoneal cysts in the children
3 To develop a diagnostic algorithm of intraperitoneal cysts in the children
Material and methods: The study included work with the medical records of 459 patients at the
department of thoracic and abdominal surgery, conducted during the years 2006-2011 at the Central
Hospital „Mother and the Child”
Results: According to data collected from 459 patients with intraperitoneal cysts in the children. 360
pts (78.60%) - hydatid cyst, 52 pts (11.30%) - ovarian cyst, 28pts (6.20%) - ovarian torsiat, 19 pts (3.90%)
- cyst of the spleen.
Conclusions: Intraperitoneal cysts are difficult to detect because they are often asymptomatic. Diagnosis is difficult and can be facilitated by laboratory investigations such as ultrasound and computer
tomography.
