Management Experience

Cystic lymphangioma of the small bowel mesentery is a rare clinical entity, especially after childhood. Medical literature reveals a limited number of such cases presenting as acute abdomen due to bowel obstruction, small bowel volvulus and bleeding into the tumour. We present the management experience of an 18-year-old woman who presented with rapid onset diffuse peritonism and raised inflammatory markers. Computed tomography showed a mass in the small bowel mesentery with suspicion of segmental bowel ischaemia. Emergency laparotomy revealed a mass in the mid-jejunal mesentery close to the bowel wall with no bowel ischaemia. The patient made an uncomplicated recovery after segmental bowel resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Histology confirmed the mass as a cystic lymphangioma involving the jejunal mesentery and two small jejunal polyps. Lymphangioma could be considered in the differential diagnosis of an acute abdomen in a young adult when the presentation is atypical.

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.

Internal hernias are an infrequent cause of intestinal obstruction with an incidence of 0.2-0.9%, therefore their early diagnosis represents a challenge. The most frequently herniated organ is the small bowel, which results in a wide spectrum of symptoms, varying from mild abdominal pain to acute abdomen. We present the case of an eight-year old patient with nonspecific digestive symptoms, a transoperative diagnosis was made in which an internal hernia was found strangulated by plastron in the distal third of the appendix. Appendectomy was performed and four days later the patient was discharged without complications.

Abstract   Not applicable because it is a Video presentation. Methods Not applicable because it is a Video presentation. Results Not applicable because it is a Video presentation. Conclusion Not applicable because it is a Video presentation. Video Video shows visualisation of thoracic duct during esophagectomy by real-time fluorescent imaging. Intraoperative fluorescence lymphangiography was performed by injecting 2.5 mg of ICG into small bowel mesentery at Laparoscopy.At Thoracoscopy, Thoracic duct was visualised after 65 minutes. ICG fluorescence lymphangiography provides a feasible, reliable and real-time imaging of thoracic duct during esophagectomy, thereby potentially reducing thoracic duct injuries. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ROGQ1K-yWkO-B3oSk8dGbsRu4iCKGfJq.

An unusual cause of duodenal obstruction in the newborn infant has been presented. Two cases have been cited from the literature. Diagnoses must be based on symptoms of vomiting with a failure to gain weight, supported by x-ray findings of a dilated duodenum. Lymphadenopathy in the small bowel mesentery, following diarrhea, may have been the inciting cause. Treatment consists of a side-to-side duodenojejunostomy.

Sigmoid Mesocolon

Mesenteric cysts are rare and occur in patients of any age. They are asymptomatic and found incidentally or during the management of their complications. They commonly originate from the small bowel mesentery, although a proportion of them have been found to originate from the mesocolon (24%) and the retroperitoneum [1] [2,3,4,5] (14.5%). A mesenteric cyst originating in the sigmoid mesocolon is a very rare nding. They are a rare cause of abdominal pain and are discovered incidentally. If symptomatic, patients with these cysts present with abdominal pain, vomiting and low backache. Performing a thorough physical examination and conducting radiological investigations like ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) are keys in diagnosing the mesenteric cysts.
