Incomplete intestinal fixation or malrotation of gut with midgut volvulus is one of the important causes of bilious vomiting in neonates. The incidence of malrotation of gut in population is 4% [1]. Mesenteric and omental cysts are rare; the incidence is approximately 1 per 105,000 admissions to general hospitals and 1 per 20,000 admissions to pediatric hospitals. These cysts are reportedly more common in females than in males and in white persons than in nonwhite persons. The present case refers to a 2month old male child who presented with bilious vomiting and abdominal distention. After doing ultrasonography abdomen, the patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with Ladd’s procedure and excision of Mesenteric cyst.
