What are mesenteric cysts in children?
Mesenteric and omental cysts in a child are the formation of highly uncommon abdominal tumor’s. These cysts can appear anywhere in the mesentery, from the duodenum to the rectum. Cysts are most commonly found in the small bowel mesentery and the mesocolon. Because of their common embryological origin, mesenteric and omental cysts are in the same group.
What are Omental cysts in children?
Omental cysts are uncommon abdominal cysts that typically affect children under 10. However, they have been observed in adults. Omental cysts are most likely congenital and connected to abnormal lymphatic masses that develop elsewhere in the body. Furthermore, most cysts are independent and might be unilocular or multilocular on omental cyst ultrasound.
It most commonly appears as persistent abdominal distension. They seem less commonly as abdominal tumours with discomfort, tiredness, or paleness. Omental cysts mostly need acute abdomen surgery or occur as an expanding cyst affecting the respiratory or urinary systems.
Occurrence
The occurrence of mesenteric and omental cysts in children’s ages varied from newborn to 18 years (average age, 6 years). One-third of all cases involve kids under the age of 15. The average age of the kids affected is 4 years old. Mesenteric cysts occur 4.5 times more frequently than omental cysts.
Mesenteric and omental cysts are identified before birth during the prenatal ultrasound. However, there is no accepted purpose for treating these tumours in pregnancy. If cysts are identified during pregnancy, early management is to avoid potential consequences such as blockage and intestinal bowel obstructions.

Omental Cyst Vs Mesenteric Cyst
There is no specific difference between the omental cysts and mesenteric cysts. Both cysts may have the same mode of action in affecting the body. However, their location can differentiate them. The mesenteric cysts are not freely moveable, whereas omental cysts are freely moveable in the body. In addition, Omental cysts are removable without disturbing the surrounding bowel. On the other hand, while treating mesenteric cysts, other surrounding tissues or organs may also suffer.
Diagnosis
Your general physician or pediatric surgeon may diagnose the disease if your child suffers from severe abdominal pain or discomfort. Moreover, the second most frequent diagnosis is appendicitis.
