Volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction and occurs mostly in sigmoid colon and cecum. It is more common in patients with Down syndrome. In this condition, it is even more challenging to diagnose the cause of intestinal obstruction through history and physical examination alone. Early diagnosis and intervention are critical in this condition to prevent serious side effects. Simultaneous volvulus is a sporadic case in the surgical entity. We report a very rare case of simultaneous volvulus of cecum and transverse colon, its management, and outcomes in a 20-year-old known case of Down syndrome.

Mechanical Intestinal Obstruction

Gallstone ileus is a rare form of mechanical intestinal obstruction caused by the passage of gallstones in the gastrointestinal lumen and is often diagnosed in elderly females. Diagnosis can be difficult due to nonspecific findings during physical examination and there are a number of options regarding surgical or endoscopic treatment. We report the rare case of a 77- year-old female patient with gastrointestinal obstruction due to a gallstone, but without a cholecystointestinal fistula. Clinicians should be aware of this rare entity especially in emergency situations, as early diagnosis and appropriate subsequent therapy in such cases is essential to reduce mortality.

Mucous Fistula

Colonic atresia and stenosis are rare causes of intestinal obstruction in the infant. Only 10 cases have been reported in Literature since 1966 and only one late-onset case has been reported in Literature until now. We describe the case of a 3 day old baby presenting with abdominal distension, failure to pass meconium and vomiting. X-ray of the abdomen showed dilated gut loops. Exploratory laparotomy was performed. At the junction of descending and sigmoid colon a stenosis was found, laparotomy also revealed a perforation of transverse colon. Transverse colostomy and a mucous fistula of sigmoid colon was performed after resecting stenosing segment and colon distal to perforation site upto stenosing site. Diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology. Colostomy was close after six weaks with uneventful recovery. Considering both the Literature and our case, congenital colonic stenosis should be considered one of the rare differential diagnoses in a neonate presenting as complete or partial intestinal obstruction.

Rare Case Report

Due to less extrapyramidal side-effects ,atypical antipsychotics use in psychiatry has increased a lot. But it is associated with other metabolic and endocrine side effects. Olanzapine is one such antipsychotic that less likely to cause hyperprolactinemia which can present as amenorrhea in patients.Here we present a rare case of olanzapine induced amenorrhoea reversed by switching to Aripiprazole.

Careful Physical Examination

Careful physical examination of the site of procedure before the caudal pain procedure should be performed because it could show the patient’s abnormal anatomical conditions. An abdominal binder could be used effectively in a patient showing CSF leakage in the coccygeal area, which is not controlled by conventional compressive dressing.
