Solitary mesenteric vascular anomaly presenting as acute abdomen

چکیده
A 4-year-old girl with a solitary vascular anomaly of the mesentery presented with acute lower abdominal pain.

The correct diagnosis was made at laparotomy. Solitary vascular anomaly of the mesentery is rare and its presentation as an acute abdomen has not been reported before.
