Results: During last 11 years, 46 (39 boys and 7 girls) children were treated for symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum and PVID under 12 years: 23 (50%) were infants, 5 (10.86%) were 1 to 5 years and 18 (39.13%) were 6 to 12 years of age. Majority n=28 (60.86%) presented with intestinal obstruction (including 5 cases of intussusception and 6 cases of PVID), followed by n=6 (13.04%) as perforation ...

Introduction The Meckel’s diverticulum or diverticulum ilei is the most common unusual congenital condition of gastrointestinal tract. It is present in fetal life as the vitello-intestinal duct, which usually disappears later in seventh week of gestational period. The incidence of Meckel’s diverticulum in the general population has been estimated to be about 2% [1]. Reports from autopsy and ret...

Intestinal congenital diverticula are uncommon in domestic animals (Barker et al. 1993). They can arise from the omphalomesenteric (vitelline) duct or from each part of the intestine. Rarely, the vitelline duct may be retained in postnatal life as a patent duct extending from the antimesenteric side of the intestine to the umbilicus (fistula omphalo-enterica completa). In some cases, only the p...

Background: An atresia is a congenital defect of hollow viscus that results in complete obstruction the lumen. Intestinal one most frequent causes bowel newborn and can occur at any point gastrointestinal tract. This study was undertaken to histomorphological findings intestinal correlate it with different subtypes clinico-radiological feature. Material methods: prospective observational conduc...

Persistent omphalomesenteric duct is a rare congenital anomaly and protrusion of the bowel through the duct is the only neonatal emergent clinical entity associated with this condition. The pathogenesis is the lack of intestinal involution by the ninth gestational week. There are several associated anomalies like intestinal malrotation, oesophageal atresia and omphalocele, which are all extreme...

Patent vitellointestinal duct (PVID) is a benign congrnital anomaly ususally presenting with fecal discharge from the umbilicus. In this report, we describe two cases of PVID presented with massive bowel prolapse through the PVID and signs of intestinal obstruction. Surgery revealed prolapse of the ileal intussusceptum through the PVID. Both of the babies were sucssesfully managed with surgery.
