Imaging Findings of Midgut Volvulus Associated with a Large Small-Bowel Diverticulum in an Adult Patient: Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 radiologic report (3). To the best of our knowledge, this condition has never been reported in the Korean literature. Therefore, we present our imaging findings of midgut volvulus associated with a large, small-bowel diverticulum in an adult, together with a review of the literature.
