A Case of Malrotation of Mid Gut with Incidental finding of Annular Pancreas
Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Malrotation of the midgut is the most common congenital anomaly which might present in infants, children or adults at various point of time in the form of acute intestinal obstruction or intestinal ischaemia with caecal or midgut volvulus or with chronic abdominal pain. Annular pancreas is a rare congenital anomaly which is consists of a rim of pancreatic tissue which encircles the second part of duodenum either partially or completely. Annular pancreas may be asymptomatic for a very long period of time before presenting with vomiting or features of intestinal obstruction. Here, we are presenting a case of a 36-year-old adult female patient presented to us with intractable vomiting, generalized weakness with no previous history of any symptoms, who was diagnosed as mid gut volvulus which eventually turned out to be malrotation of midgut and with incidental finding of annular pancreas.
