Intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus presenting in adults is a rare entity, and association with jejunal diverticulum is rarer still. Herein, we report and review such a case of malrotation and volvulus, associated with intestinal band adhesions and a solitary jejunal diverticulum. This 67 years old gentleman had presented with complaints of intermittent abdominal pain for past several years. Imaging of the abdomen revealed twisting of superior mesenteric artery and vein, evidence of midgut volvulus and intestinal malrotation with “whirlpool sign”. Laparotomy revealed a midgut volvulus, extensive adhesions involving the root of the mesentery and a jejunal diverticulum. Adhesiolysis was performed, untwisting of the bowel was done and the jejunal diverticulum was resected. Post-operative period was uneventful. This case is being reported on account of its extreme rarity.

Artery Embolism

We present a case of combined celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery embolism in a 70-year-old patient that was examined in emergency department for atrial fibrillation and diffuse abdominal pain. Standard abdominal x-ray showed air in the portal vein. CT scan with contrast showed air in the lumen of the stomach and small intestine, bowel distension with wall thickening, and a free gallstone in the abdominal cavity. Massive embolism of both celiac axis and superior mesenteric artery was seen after contrast administration. On laparotomy, complete necrosis of the liver, spleen, stomach and small intestine was found. Gallbladder was gangrenous and perforated, and the gallstone had migrated into the abdominal cavity. We found free air that crackled on palpation of the veins of the gastric surface. The patient’s condition was incurable and she died of multiple organ failure a few hours after surgery. Acute visceral thromboembolism should always be excluded first if a combination of atrial fibrillation and abdominal pain exists. Determining the serum levels of d-dimers and lactate, combined with CT scan with contrast administration can, in most cases, confirm the diagnosis and lead to faster surgical intervention. It is crucial to act early on clinical suspicion and not to wait for the development of hard evidence.

High Concentrations

Summary133 blood vessels were evaluated for vasculokinase concentration in the freshly morbid state. High concentrations of activity were found in the aorta, iliac artery, superior mesenteric artery and popliteal artery. Activity was occasionally found in the inferior vena cava and common iliacs veins. Other vessels evaluated had no activity. Evaluation of the data with respect to vas-culokinase activity and atherosclerosis suggests higher levels of vasculokinase in those vessels having atherosclerosis.

History Of

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Mycotic aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a rare complication of infective endocarditis. We report a case with infective endocarditis involving the aortic valve complicated by multiple septic embolisms. The patient was treated with antibiotics for 6 weeks. During preparation for surgical treatment, the patient developed acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a ruptured SMA aneurysm, which was successfully treated with an emergency operation of aneurysm ligation. The aortic valve was replaced 17 days later and the patient recovered uneventfully. In conclusion, we present a rare case with infective endocarditis (IE) complicated by SMA aneurysm. Antibiotic treatment did not prevent the rupture of SMA aneurysm. Abdominal pain in a patient with a recent history of IE should be excluded with ruptured aneurysm.</span></p>
