A Rare Case of Intestinal Obstruction due to Taenia Saginata

Intestinal obstruction may be duo to various mechanical or functional reasons. Worms, especially Ascaris worms are one of the mechanical reasons of intestinal obstruction. Obstruction due to Taenia saginata is a rare phenomenon. Here we report a case of intestinal obstruction due to Taenia saginata infection in a 30 year-old male patient undergoing laparatomy with the diagnosis of intestinal ob...

An 88 year old woman presented with a painful, irreducible right femoral hernia and small intestinal obstruction. At laparotomy, some distal small intestine was found to have twisted around an uninflamed appendix which was acting as a 'band', with its tip fixed in the femoral hernia sac. Although the association between the appendix and femoral hernia is well recognized, the production of small...

Enterogenous cyst causing congenital intestinal obstruction.

Cysts whose walls reproduce completely or incompletely the structure of gut, whether discovered in the wall of the gut, attached to the gut, or even more or less remote from the gut, must have been derived from the gut (Evans, 1929). They originate either in the vitello-intestinal tract or in diverticula normally found in the developing embryonal entoderm (Lewis and Thyng, 1908). One or more of...

Mesenteric lipoma causing recurrent intestinal obstruction.

Although lipoma is a common tumor found in almost all parts of the body, that occurring in the mesentery of the gut is a rarity. A 29-year-old man presented in our center with a 10-year history of recurrent central colicky abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation, and central abdominal mass. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a huge smooth yellow mass in the mesentery of the mid ileum. Resection of ...
