Malrotation with midgut volvulus associated with perforated ileal duplication

Abstract

Duplication of the alimentary tract is an important surgical condition. It may occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. An important complication of this entity is perforation of the normal or abnormal gut. Malrotation with midgut volvulus can be a surgical emergency. We present a patient, who presented as malrotation with midgut volvulus associated with perforated ileal duplication. The patient was successfully managed.

Malrotation and Midgut Volvulus associated with Asymptomatic Duplication Cyst of Jejunum

“…Although both malrotation and gastrointestinal duplications are important causes of intestinal obstruction in the paediatric age group, finding them in the same patient has been described to be rare in literature. [1][2][3][4] We could not find the exact incidence of this association.…”

Isolated Jejunal Duplication Cyst Associated with Intestinal Malrotation in a Newborn

“…Alimentary tract duplications are epithelial-lined cystic or tubular structures attached to bowel wall and supplied by mesenteric vessels. Association between intestinal malrotation and duplication cyst, especially of jejunal location is rarely mentioned in literature [1][2][3][4][5]. We are reporting a rare coexistence of isolated jejunal duplication cyst and malrotation in a neonate with intestinal obstruction.…”

“…Postoperative period was uneventful. Combination of enteric duplication and intestinal malrotation is a rare entity and may present as an acute surgical emergency [1][2][3][4][5]. Gastric and duodenal distension on plain X-ray of abdomen is suggestive of duodenal obstruction.…”

A Rare Case Report of Ileal Duplication in a Young Adult Male

“…[2] Furthermore, intestinal duplication of small bowel has been rarely associated with malrotation. [3] It can present as vague abdominal pain, distension with or without complications like obstruction, bleeding, perforation or malignancy.…”
