Jejunal position can lead to inaccurate UGI series interpretation. Meticulous technique and periodic assessment of performance will help more accurately diagnose difficult or equivocal cases.
Intestinal obstruction due to Meckel's diverticulum is the most common presentation in adults. There are various mechanisms by which it can cause intestinal obstruction such as volvulus of small intestine around a fibrous band extending from Meckel's diverticulum to umbilicus, intussusception, and Littre's hernia. We report the case of a young adult operated on emergency for acute intestinal obstruction. The CT scan suggested a nonspecific internal herniation. Surgical exploration confirmed a rare type of obstruction due to Meckel's diverticulum.
Introduction: Appendicitis is a common cause of acute abdomen; however the classic clinical signs are not often present, which can be manifested by numerous complications, but the revelation by a parietal collection remains unusual, its diagnosis can be challenging. Presentation of case: We describe the case of a 31 years old man, who complains for pain of the right fl ank. The clinical examination objective an erythematous and painful swelling of the right iliac fossa, the abdominal ultrasound has objectifi ed a collection of the right fl ank and right iliac fossa, The CT Scan of the Abdomen/Pelvis found a voluminous collection of soft tissues of the right anterolateral abdominal and pelvic wall, hypo dense and heterogeneous, containing air, The surgical exploration objectifi ed a huge purulent collection with subcutaneously ceacum and appendage suppurated and perforated. Conclusion: The onset of an abdominal wall abscess without a known cause needs to be thoroughly investigated, with consideration of a subjacent abdominal cause and appendicitis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
