Lymphangioma occur commonly in the neck and axillae of pediatric patients, caused by an obstruction of the lymphatic flow because of congenital lymphatic malformation. However, mesenteric lmphangioma of the small intestine is a rare tumor that is seldom associated with small bowel volvulus, particularly in adult patients. Although rare, mesenteric lymphangioma can cause volvulus and intestinal ...

abdomenal distress in adults (1). Midgut volvulus is mostly related to intestinal malrotation, and it is rarely associated with postoperative adhesions and a bulky diet after fasting (2). Although acquired jejunoileal diverticula are uncommon and asymptomatic in the majority of patients, the association of midgut volvulus and a large small-bowel diverticulum has been mentioned only in a radiolo...

Yadav DK, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222247 Description Caecal volvulus accounts for 30% of all colonic volvulus. It occurs due to torsion or hyperflexion of an enlarged, poorly fixed hypermobile caecum. It manifests in two forms: axial rotation of the caecum and the ileum around the mesentery and the less common caecal bascule, where the bowel folds up on itself. Intestinal...

Cecal volvulus represents a rare form of acute intestinal obstruction caused by an axial twist the terminal ileum, ascending colon, and cecum surrounding mesenteric pedicle. It is responsible for 1%-1.5% all cases in adults. Radiological imaging assists diagnosis cecal volvulus, particularly CT scan with contrast as gold standard both risk assessment. In this case report, we present challenging...

Congenital midgut malrotation is a complex gastrointestinal anomaly, which could easily lead to midgut volvulus and gastrointestinal obstruction. Large studies on congenital midgut malrotation in adults are rarely investigated. The current study aimed to explore the clinical profile and diagnostic modalities of congenital midgut malrotation in Chinese adult patients. Clinical and radiological d...

BACKGROUND Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly of the intestinal rotation and fixation, and usually occurs in the neonatal age. OBJECTIVE Description of a clinical case associated with acute occlusive symptoms. CLINICAL CASE A case of intestinal malrotation is presented in a previously asymptomatic woman of 46 years old with an intestinal obstruction, with radiology and surgical ...
