Absence of transverse colon, persistent descending mesocolon, displaced small and large bowels: a rare congenital anomaly with a high risk of volvulus formation

چکیده
Congenital anomalies such as positional anomalies of the right half of the colon are more common when compared to its left half. We report a rare case of congenital anomaly where the transverse colon was totally absent. Ascending colon continued as descending colon at the right colic flexure. Ascending and descending colons formed an inverted U shaped loop which was situated in the right half of the abdomen. The sigmoid colon began from the descending colon, on the right side of the midline and coursed to the left iliac fossa. The terminal part of ascending colon and entire descending colon had a persistent mesocolon. The jejunum and ileum were situated in the upper left part of the abdominal cavity. This anomaly can cause volvulus of the colon at any stage of life. Furthermore, the knowledge of this anomaly is very useful for radiologists, gastroenterologists and surgeons.

A 31-year-old Japanese man with chronic abdominal pain underwent laparoscopic surgery using both a single port and 2.4-mm needle forceps for a preoperatively diagnosed intestinal malrotation. Abdominal findings revealed a twisted mesenteric pedicle; it also revealed that the right-side colon was not fused to the retroperitoneum and that both the transverse colon and the mesocolon were adhered t...

Colonoscopy during a health checkup revealed nodular, phyma-like, large varices in a 10 cm area involving the descending to sigmoid colon (●" Fig. 1). Neither flare nor hemorrhage was observed. Plain abdominal radiography showed colonic gas moving to the right (●" Fig. 2). Contrast-enhanced irrigoscopy revealed impairment of the colonic...

Hemimelia as a congenital anomaly is a failure of development of extremities formation in embryonic period. This anomaly is defined as complete absence of the part of extremities and different forms were explained for hemimelia. Adactyly is an alternative name for transverse hemimelia and is a rare disorder in the most of animal species. A two months old male lamb with normal vital signs was re...

Sigmoid colon is one of the most variable parts of the large intestine. Here we report a very rare type of variation of the sigmoid colon. This variation was observed during the routine dissections for undergraduate medical students at Melaka Manipal Medical College (Manipal Campus) India in September 2012. In the current case, the sigmoid colon was about 60 cms long and made an inverted U shap...
