BACKGROUND: Intussusception with the Meckel?s diverticulum is rare cause of small bowel obstruction in the adults. The Meckel diverticulum is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction in children. METHODS (CASE REPORT): We present a case of 18-year-old boy with developing signs of small bowel obstruction The onset of disease was the day before the first examination. There was no history of prior surgery. According to the clinical symptoms, physical examinations as well as radiographic and ultrasound examination, surgical treatment was indicated. Surgical approach was inferior medial laparotomy. Intussusceptions of the Meckel?s diverticulum and into the coecum with incarceration were found. De-sincarceration and simple diverticulectomy was done. CONCLUSION: The Meckels?s diverticulum should be consider as a possible cause of the small bowel obstruction in previously healthy patient.

Abstract Intussusception (IS) is defined as invagination of part of the bowel into an adjacent section of the intestines and is the second most common cause of small bowel obstruction in children. Postoperative ileoileal intussusception after surgical reduction is a special type of ileoileal intussusception and is considered idiopathic. This research paper examines the case of a female Syrian toddler who had been diagnosed with ileoileal intussusception after surgical reduction. Diagnosis of celiac disease was later histopathologically confirmed. Celiac disease (CD) may be the underlying cause for special types of intussusception that may be considered idiopathic, and further investigations, such as endoscopy, should be considered.

AbstractSmall bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common cause of acute abdominal pain presenting to the emergency department (ED). Although the literature is limited, point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has been found to have superior diagnostic accuracy for SBO compared to plain radiography; however, it is rarely used in North America for this. We present the case of a middle-aged man who presented with abdominal pain where POCUS by the emergency physician early in the hospital course expedited the diagnosis of SBO and led to earlier surgical consultation. The application of POCUS for SBO is easily learned and applied in the ED. POCUS for SBO may obviate the need for plain radiography and expedite patient care.

Emergency Abdominal Surgery

Oftentimes general surgeons working in poorly resourced communities carry out emergency abdominal surgery in patients with acute abdomen with no definitive preoperative diagnosis. The definitive diagnosis is made at laparotomy. Perforated small bowel obstruction secondary to heavy Infestation with Ascaris Lumbricoides brings a number of intraoperative challenges requiring correct intraoperative surgical management decisions. We present a case of a 17 year-old patient who was admitted with a diagnosis of small bowel obstruction who at laparotomy was found to have perforated gangrenous small bowel volvulus with heavy worm load visible through the bowel wall. Because of faecal peritoneal contamination and haemodynamic instability she underwent a two staged procedure with good outcome.
