Abstract

The case of recurrent intraabdominal neurenteric cyst after surgical excision in an infant is described. After several operative resections, we changed therapeutic strategy and performed local injection of OK-432. Indeed, there is experience with the application of OK-432 for other entities, especially lymphangioma, but to our knowledge, there is no report published so far on the treatment of neurenteric cyst with OK-432. We describe for the first time an effective and simple treatment of recurrent neurenteric cyst.
