Jejunal obstruction due to jejunocolic congenital band in a 12-year-old child: a case report
Abstract Background A congenital band is an uncommon abnormality that can be found anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal obstruction caused by an anomalous congenital band is very rare in children. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of congenital bands extending from the descendi...

| description | Abstract Background A congenital band is an uncommon abnormality that can be found anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract. Intestinal obstruction caused by an anomalous congenital band is very rare in children. To the best of our knowledge, no cases of congenital bands extending from the descending colon to the jejunum have been reported in the English literature Case presentation Herein, we present the case of a 12-year-old Syrian patient with intestinal obstruction due to a congenital band extending from the mesentery of the descending colon to the mesentery of the jejunum with an entrapped loop of jejunum between the band and the mesentery. The location of the obstruction was determined by upper gastrointestinal contrast radiography, but the cause of the obstruction was diagnosed intraoperatively. The band was excised without intestinal resection. Conclusion Prediagnosis of congenital bands can be challenging, and surgery is required. When making a bowel obstruction differential diagnosis, it is important to keep this type of band in mind. |
