Small bowel volvulus secondary to Meckel’s diverticulum is rare, and a delayed diagnosis results in disastrous outcomes. Computed tomography is conducive to early differential diagnosis. In particular, a blind-ending pouch structure on CT always indicates Meckel’s diverticulum. Diverticulectomy with or without adjacent partial small intestinal resection is the standard treatment for symptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum. However, the therapy for asymptomatic Meckel’s diverticulum is controversial. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old man who suffered intestinal obstruction secondary to small bowel volvulus caused by an axially torsional, gangrenous, and giant Meckel’s diverticulum. Diverticulectomy with partial intestinal resection was performed.

AbstractCounterclockwise barber pole sign (also known as reverse barber pole sign) is an angiographic sign described in patients with small bowel volvulus due to counterclockwise twisting of mesenteric vessels around the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). The sign was first described in a catheter angiographic examination; however, the concept can be translated to the display methods of computed tomography (CT). This sign can be depicted clearly on multiplanar and three-dimensionally rendered images of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) examination. In the current report, the reverse barber pole sign is illustrated in a child with partial small bowel volvulus secondary to mesenteric lymphatic malformation. The clinical course, management, and imaging appearances are presented, highlighting the observation of counterclockwise barber pole sign on MDCT imaging. The importance of the sign in identification of volvulus and implications for patient management are emphasized.

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.
