intestinal lipomatosis also known as lipohyperplasia is a rare disease. diffuse infiltration of the fatty tissue mainly in the submucousal layer is characteristic. it is usually asymptomatic and found incidentally. we report a case of lipomatosis in the terminal ileum and ileocecal valve. multidetector computed tomography (mdct) with contrast enhancement showed fatty infiltration of the termina...

Atresia of ileocecal junction and isolated atresia of ileocecal valve are rare types of intestinal atresia with very few reports in literature. We report two such cases. Radiology showed dilated ileal segment and distal micro colon in both the cases. At laparotomy there was atresia of ileocecal junction in the first case and isolated ileocaecal valve atresia with normal ileocecal junction in th...
