Abstract
Enteric duplication cysts (EDC) are typically solitary lesions that occur throughout the alimentary tract. Postnatal diagnosis is often prompted when complications occur from bleeding, obstruction, or infection. We present a case of multiple EDC diagnosed prenatally, managed with prenatal and neonatal follow-up and resection in infancy. Prenatal detection allowed for optimal management prior to the development of symptoms or complications.
