Annotation. The article presented a rare clinical case of a successful treatment of cancer of the descending colon, that is complicated by acute obstructive intestinal obstruction on the background of post-traumatic left diaphragmatic hernia in a 68-year-old patient. The result of surgical treatment indicates some possible unexpected intraoperative difficulties that the surgeon might be facing with during the process of a surgery. It is noticed that in surgery for a cancer of the descending colon, had been complicated by an acute intestinal obstruction, it is still necessary to find the cause of abdominal pain, had been accompanied by bloating, lack of stool and gas, vomiting “feils”, one of which may be postpartum of left hernia of the diaphragm.

Right Diaphragmatic Hernia

A congenital diaphragmatic hernia is very uncommon among adults. A diaphragmatic hernia is primarily acute in onset and it is usually identified after trauma. It occurs mostly on the left side. We would like to report a 68-year-old male who presented with a 4-day history of acute intestinal obstruction with a background history of change in bowel habit for a month secondary to a right diaphragmatic hernia. He did not have any history of trauma. Clinical examination revealed a distended abdomen with high pitched bowel sound and no palpable mass. The right lung was inaudible on auscultation. Computed tomography scan was consistent with a right diaphragmatic hernia and acute intestinal obstruction. We highlight the late onset of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia and emphasize the vital need for perioperative management to ensure a promising surgical outcome.

Diagnostic Dilemma

Background: Intestinal malrotation refers to the partial or complete failure of rotation of midgut around the superior mesenteric vessels in embryonic life. Arrested midgut rotation results due to narrow-based mesentery and increases the risk of twisting midgut and subsequent obstruction and necrosis. Midgut volvulus secondary to intestinal malrotation is a rare presentation in adults more so in the elderly. Its rarity portends a diagnostic dilemma for both the surgeon and radiologist, and CT scan showed dilated large and small intestine segments with air-fluid levels and twisted mesentery around superior mesenteric artery and vein indicating "whirlpool sign". In our patient Case presentation: 42 years old male who presented to the emergency department with acute onset of pain in the RUQ, vomiting, and absolute obstipation for the last 2 days. This patient had a history of similar two episodes of sub-acute intestinal obstruction in the last 6 months which has been managed conservatively. The patient underwent an elective exploratory laparotomy after 2 days of failed conservative management. Operative findings included the presence of adhesive bands in the RUQ (Ladd's Band), volvulus of the mid-portion of the small bowel in a clockwise fashion, and multiple intraabdominal adhesions and empty RIF and caecum pulled up in RUQ. We subsequently performed a Ladd's procedure, multiple adhesiolysis, and caecopexy and the patient had an uneventful recovery with eventual discharge on postoperative day 12. This case report reviews the incidence of malrotation in adults. It also high Conclusion: lights the difficulty in diagnosing midgut volvulus in the adult population given the nonspecific, insidious symptoms, therefore, prompting awareness of its existence and a high degree of clinical suspicion. Malrotation should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients presented with acute abdomen and intestinal ischemia.
