Abstract:A má rotação intestinal é uma anomalia congênita de causa desconhecida, sendo vômitos biliosos um dos diagnósticos diferenciais na infância, e em adultos consiste em um difícil diagnóstico. Adolescente de 17 anos iniciou um quadro de dor mesogástrica, de caráter intermitente, com piora pós-prandial. Apresentou dores abdominais intensas, vômitos biliosos, desidratação e desnutrição severa. Foram realizadas endoscopia e seriografia digestiva alta, que sugeriram má rotação intestinal. O paciente foi submetido ao … Show more
“…Currently this procedure can be performed by laparoscopy, a safe procedure and minimally invasive approach for adult patients without midgut volvulus(PANDA, et al 2014), associating the mobilization of the duodenum and right colon, sectioning Ladd's bands to near the superior mesenteric(SALA, et al 2016). Intestinal malrotation in adults is difficult to identify and the Ladd procedure by laparoscopy is the surgical technique of choice for these cases, when they do not present acute complications(ARAGÃO, et al 2018). Although less invasive approaches are becoming increasingly used, there is no evidence to support the superiority of laparoscopy over the open procedure(ISANI, et al 2018).…”
Ladd bands consist of a congenital pathology of peritoneal embryogenesis characterized by the formation of a fibrotic area between bowel loops that, combined with a malrotation of the bowel, can cause intestinal obstruction or in other cases, facilitate the development of the volvulus. Because it is congenital, it has a predominance in childhood and its diagnosis must be early, so that surgical correction can be performed on an urgent basis, given the high risk of vascular involvement and intestinal necrosis. In this work we present the case of a 13 year old male, with an acute presentation of intestinal malrotation, but with a history of chronic symptoms of this pathology, who were submitted to laparotomy and performed ileodistal dissection with significant improvement of the case. Knowing how to diagnose this congenital anomaly early is the main step towards a better quality of life for the patient.
