Mal rotation of midgut is associated with other anomalies usually encountered in neonatal period or early childhood. If undetected in childhood it presents in adulthood with small bowel obstruction, repeated appendicitis or chronic abdominal symptoms. CECT abdomen is mandatory for diagnosis though it often presents as surgical surprise on abdominal laparotomy. Hereby, we presented 3 cases where it was undetected till adulthood though CECT was mandatory for definitive diagnosis. Case 1 patient presented with chronic abdominal pain on left abdomen was actually malrotation with appendix lying on left hypochondrium and stenosed fourth part duodenum adding to vomiting off and on. Case 2 patient in adulthood presented with repeated sub-acute intestinal obstruction because of midgut mal-rotation. Relieved after Ladd band was cut and obstructive symptoms relieved. Case 3 patient had inflammed appendix in subhepatic position was cause of chronic pain with para duodenal hernial sac adding to intestinal obstruction with malrotation of midgut.

Lipomas, also known as universal tumors, can be found almost anywhere in the human body. However mesenteric lipomas are rare entities, with less than 100 cases reported in clinical literature. Patients may present with chronic non-specific abdominal symptoms, or rarely acute intestinal obstruction. Multiple imaging modalities are available for pre-operative diagnosis. Surgical intervention is required for treatment of symptomatic mesenteric lipomas.

Malrotation with volvulus of midgut bowel loop, a developmental anomaly of intestinal fixation, occurs due to failure of rotation of proximal midgut around the mesenteric vessels during the second stage of rotation. Anomalies presenting in adults is very rare and incidence reported is 0.0001% to 0.19%. We report a case of a young female with acute on chronic presentation of midgut malrotation.

Ileosigmoid Knotting is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. It is also called as compound volvulus or double volvulus. It is caused by the wrapping of the ileum around the sigmoid colon and its mesentery or vice-versa. It is a rapidly progressive condition, leads to acute intestinal obstruction and gangrene in ileum as well as in the sigmoid colon. Early diagnosis and intervention is the key to a better outcome. Due to the rarity and unfamiliarity of this entity, diagnosis is usually made intraoperatively. Surgical removal of the gangrenous segment with either stoma formation or anastomosis is the only hope.An additional systemic search of the literature was done in PubMed, MEDLINE, ISIS, Embase, and CAS searches with the following free text keywords: ileosigmoid knotting, intestinal knotting, compound volvulus and double volvulus in English literature. Around 64 studies were identified, out of which 38 studies were selected for this article after the removal of duplicates and unrelated articles. These case series and reports were reviewed for aetiopathogenesis, presentation, diagnostic modalities, surgical interventions, and outcome.Along with this review article, there was a case report of ileosigmoid knotting in a 38-year-old male patient that presented in the surgical Emergency Department; with complaints of generalised pain and distention of abdomen for two days. Also, he had complained of not passing flatus and motion for two days. On examination, patient had generalised tenderness and bowel sounds were absent. X-ray abdomen showed dilated small and large bowel with multiple air-fluid levels. After resuscitation, an emergency exploratory laparotomy was done, and the diagnosis of ileosigmoid knotting with gangrene of both ileum and sigmoid colon was made intraoperatively. After resection of both gangrenous segment, colocolic anastomosis and double barrel ileostomy was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and patient was discharged on 7th postoperative day.

Jejunogastric Intussusception is rare but potentially serious complication of gatrojejunostomy or gastrectomy requiring early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention in acute form of the complication. Upper GI Endoscopy by a familiar person with this rare condition is diagnostic. The clinical picture of acute intestinal obstruction with haematemesis in the back ground of gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy may make the illusive diagnosis definite and demand surgery to reduce morbidity and mortality of the patients. In our all the 4 cases Upper G I Endoscopy found to be diagnostic. Keywords: Jejunogastric Intussusception; Upper GI Endoscopy; Acute intestinal obstruction.
