ASCENDING COLON PERFORATION IN A CASE OF NON ROTATION OF GUT ALONG WITH MECKEL'S DIVERTICULUM IN A MALE ADOLESCENT - A RARE CASE REPORT

Dr. Aravind. K. R, Dr. Arunmozhi. S

Abstract :

Non rotation of the intestine is a very rare congenital abnormality of the mid gut, occurring due to an error in the process of rotation. The incidence of non rotation is 1:500 and found incidentally in most of the cases. This may be associated with other anomalies like Meckel’s diverticulum, intestinal duplication cyst, peritoneal adhesions etc. Meckels diverticulum is an another congenital anomaly representing a persistent portion of the vitello-intestinal duct, occurring in 1-2% of individuals. Here we are reporting a case of non rotation of midgut along with Meckel’s diverticulum which was found incidentally in an adolescent male who underwent exploratory laparotomy for intestinal perforation. Intra operative finding included a gangrenous perforation in the ascending colon that occurred due to obstruction caused by peritoneal bands.
