Subacute Intestinal Obstruction

Peritoneal loose bodies (PLB) also known as “peritoneal mice”, are rare lesions often found incidentally during laparoscopies or laparotomies. They are often small in size although PLBs measuring in size more than 5 cm have also been reported. Most small PLBs remain asymptomatic and do not require treatment, although large PLBs have also been known to cause symptoms like urinary obstruction, intestinal obstruction. We present one such case of a middle- aged man having a PLB causing subacute intestinal obstruction.

Subacute Intestinal Obstruction

BACKGROUND: Intestinal obstruction is a surgical emergency that causes confusion both in the diagnosis and the management. It is related by important disease and mortality. The goal of this study was to classify the etiology, to analyse the methods of performance of acute duodenal obstruction in different age groups, various therapeutic modalities of treatment, to accomplish operative management, anticipate the post-operative complications and outcomes of patients with acute intestinal obstruction. MATERIAL& METHODS: 82 patients of all age groups (except infants) presenting with acute intestinal obstruction were studied between June 2017 and December 2018 in a multispeciality hospital in Eastern India. Patients with history of subacute intestinal obstruction and paralytic ileus were excluded from this study. RESULTS: Males were found to be affected much more than females. Pain abdomen was the most common symptom found in 94% cases followed by distension and vomiting in 86.6% and 68.3% cases respectively. Most common etiology of intestinal obstruction was due to adhesion and bands (40.3%) followed by obstructed hernia (22%) and malignancy (17%). The most common procedure done in intestinal obstruction in present study was release of adhesions and bands (37.8%) followed by resection and anastomosis (26.8%). CONCLUSION: Bowel obstruction continues to be one of the most common abdominal problems faced by general surgeons. Success in the treatment of intestinal obstruction depends largely upon early diagnosis, skilful management and treating the pathological effects of the obstruction just as much as the cause itself.

Peritoneal loose bodies are usually incidental findings at laparotomy. Their sizes range from that of a pea to giant loose bodies. We report a case of giant loose peritoneal body measuring 5x 4 cm found incidentally in a 67 year old man. Mobile pelvic masses are extremely rare findings. They are usually located in the pelvic cavity due to the fact that they gravitate to the most dependent part of the pelvic cavity. Usually these peritoneal loose bodies are left untreated until complications arise. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jpn.v3i6.9005   Journal of Pathology of Nepal (2013) Vol. 3, 512-514

Abstract Background Pisotriquetral (PT) loose bodies have been described in the literature only a few times as case reports. While PT pathology remains the differential for ulnar-sided wrist pain, it can often be difficult to diagnose, as symptoms can be variable and radiographic imaging may be negative for any findings. Case Description A 24-year-old major league baseball player presented with pain and locking of his wrist during follow through of his bat swing. Plain radiographic imaging, as well as computed tomography (CT) imaging, was negative for any pathology. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated a loose body which entered the PT joint when the wrist was moved into a flexed position. This caused entrapment of the loose body and locking of the wrist. Literature Review A total of 17 reported patients in the literature have been diagnosed with a PT loose body. The clinical examination findings, radiographic findings, and surgical findings are reviewed. Case Relevance PT loose bodies can present a challenging clinical picture to diagnose. The purpose of this case report is to review the appropriate clinical workup, including common examination findings and advanced imaging techniques, to help the clinician with the diagnosis.

Encapsulating Peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) or abdominal cocoon is a rare acquired condition with an unknown aetiology. It is characterized by encapsulation of the small bowel by a fibrous membrane and can lead to intestinal obstruction. We present the case of a 42-year-old gentleman with a history of hepatitis C, tuberculosis, and previous abdominal surgery, who presented with subacute intestinal obstruction. Surgical exploration of the abdomen revealed that the entire contents were enclosed into three distinct sacs by a dense fibrous membrane. Excision of the sacs was performed followed by adhesiolysis. This is believed to be the first reported case of multiple cocoons within the abdominal cavity. The case is discussed with reference to the literature.
