Rare Case of Cecal Volvulus Presenting as Intestinal Obstruction

Introduction: Cecal volvulus (CV) is rare cause of intestinal obstruction especially in children. There is no established protocol for the treatment of CV due to its rarity. Case Presentation: We present a rare case of CV in a 9-year-old girl. Discussion: The spectrum of intestinal malrotation may give rise to a mobile cecum that may result to CV. Constipation could be a predisposing factor. The clinical presentation which may include abdominal pain, distension, constipation and vomiting depends on the time of presentation. There may be associations with chromosomal abnormalities. Conclusion: Although CV is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, awareness and high index of suspicion is needed by clinician for early diagnosis and treatment.

Adhesive Intestinal Obstruction

Perineal hernia with bowel gangrene is uncommon but known complication of laparoscopic extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE). We present a rare case of closed loop small bowel obstruction with bowel gangrene secondary to an incarcerated perineal hernia that developed 7 years after an ELAPE. Intraoperatively, we found a definitive transition point due to adhesions in pelvis and a closed loop obstruction of the distal small bowel at different site with gangrenous intestine. She was managed successfully surgically with adhesiolysis and fixation of defect with biological mesh. Prevalence of perineal hernias will rise in future because of the increasing cases of ELAPE, in which no repair of pelvic floor is performed. The need of follow-up of these operations and more reporting of such cases are important in increasing awareness of these complications. Patients should be made aware of such complications and should seek urgent medical care.

A Rare case of heterotopic pancreatic tissue of ileum causing acute intestinal obstruction has been described with a brief review of literature. A 42 yr old male patient presented to the emergency department with features of acute intestinal obstruction. After evaluation patient was taken up for emergency laparotomy which revealed a band to be arising from ileum. Furthermore, there was a small growth in the ileal wall at the site of origin of the band. Hence resection of the growth was done and followed by ileoileal anastomosis. Later on, histopathological examination of the growth revealed it to be heterotopic pancreatic tissue. Heterotopic pancreatic tissue is often an incidental nding encountered in upper gastrointestinal tract during endoscopy and surgeries. But Symptomatic ectopic pancreas of ileum is relatively rare and they very rarely present with acute symptoms as in this case

Mechanical Bowel Obstruction

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical emergency. A bowel obstruction due to the appendicitis is in most cases functional with a paralytic ileus mechanical bowel obstructions are rare or exceptional. We describe a rare case of a mechanical bowel obstruction due to a strangulation of the last ileal loop by the appendix.
