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.
