Diaphragmatic Eventration with Acute Gastric volvulus, Pancreatic Volvulus and Wandering Spleen Mimicking Features of Gastric Outlet Obstruction in an Young Male Patient Presenting as Acute Abdomen: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare abnormality of diaphragm which may be congenital or acquired. It can be completely asymptomatic when it is present as an isolated anomaly. Such patients may also have associated laxity, weakness or absence of intraperitoneal visceral ligaments due to a shared pathogenesis. This predisposes to rotational anomalies of other viscera like gastric volvulus, wandering spleen with or without torsion, pancreatic volvulus contributed by ligament laxity as well as diaphragm weakness. We present a case of a 16 year old male adolescent having rare and unusual combination of diaphragmatic eventration, mesentericoaxialgastric volvulus, wandering spleen and pancreatic volvulus complicated by acute pancreatitis
