Abstract

An infant with congenital pancreatic cyst with Ivemark II syndrome is reported because it is a rare association. The infant had associated situs inversus, asplenia, and complex congenital heart disease. The pancreatic cyst was successfully managed by cystoduodenostomy because of connection to the biliary tract. The infant succumbed as a result of heart failure at age 2 months. Prognosis depends on the presence of life-threatening malformations.<br /> (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
