The wall is well defined and a hyperechoic inner<br />
rim of mucosa may be identified in some cases of<br />
intestinal duplication (Fig. 9.18). The cyst is<br />
closely related to the adjacent bowel and this can<br />
be appreciated on real-time scanning as the bowel<br />
peristalses. CT and MRI rarely add anything to the<br />
ultrasound information. Contrast radiography may<br />
show an extrinsic defect but communication with<br />
the cyst is rare.<br />
There are many causes of intra-abdominal cystic<br />
masses in children. (Table 10.6). The main differential<br />
diagnosis in the infant girl is from an ovarian<br />
cyst as the ovary is generally an intra-abdominal<br />
organ at this age. Useful indicators of an ovarian<br />
origin can be detected on careful sonography, by<br />
detecting some residual ovarian tissue in the cyst<br />
wall, and the finding of a clearly seen multifollicular<br />
ovary on one side with absent visualization of a<br />
definite ovary on the other side.<br />
