Abstract

Congenital splenic cysts have been reported to usually regress spontaneously within a few months postnatally. A splenic cyst was detected in the ultrasonography of a 27-year-old pregnant woman at her 34th week of gestation. The size of the splenic cyst remained constant in the follow-up of the patient. In the ultrasonography performed in the postnatal 1st year, it was determined that the cyst persisted and remained the same size. There is no algorithm for the follow up of cysts in the literature, and information about congenital splenic cysts will be presented in this case report and review.
