Intestinal prolapse through a persistent omphalomesenteric duct causing small-bowel obstruction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Persistent omphalomesenteric duct as a cause of small-bowel obstruction is an exceptional finding. A neonate presented with occlusion due to intestinal prolapse through a persistent omphalomesenteric duct. Remnants of the duct were successfully resected, and the postoperative course was uneventful. We discuss the presentation of omphalomesenteric duct and its management.

A rare cause of small bowel obstruction in adults: persistent omphalomesenteric duct.
Previous abdominal surgery is the most common cause of mechanical small bowel obstruction. However, in patients with no abdominal surgery history, it is difficult to diagnose and treat. Omphalomesenteric duct is a primitive embryonic structure of fetal development between the midgut and yolk sac. In some cases, it may persist and result in several complications, particularly in childhood. In ad...
متن کاملPatent Omphalomesenteric Duct with Protruding Bowels through a Ruptured Omphalocele
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...

متن کاملAnomalous mesenteric vessel—a rare etiology of intermittent partial small bowel obstruction
We report a case of an 11-year with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain and vomiting. Diagnostic laparoscopy during a severe episode demonstrated an anomalous blood vessel incompletely encircling the bowel, leading to transient partial small bowel obstruction. This likely represents a remnant vessel from the omphalomesenteric duct. Recurrent abdominal pain and vomiting in the pediatric populat...
متن کاملEvisceration of small bowel after cauterization of an umbilical mass.
The omphalomesenteric duct (OMD), a temporary structure essential to fetal development, normally involutes completely by week 8 or 9 of gestation. On occasion, the OMD persists, the clinical presentations of which vary widely. We describe a case of a 6-week-old male with a patent OMD remnant that was initially treated as an umbilical granuloma, which then potentially allowed for prolapse of the...
