Small Bowel Obstruction due to Anomalous Congenital Bands in Children: A case report and literature review
2020
Abstract Anomalous congenital bands (ACB) are a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction difficult to identify preoperatively. We report a case of a three-month-old girl who presented with symptoms and signs of intestinal obstruction. On her medical history, there was no abdominal pain, fever, and no history of previous surgery. Surgical intervention was performed for the correction of the disorder. A good result can be expected with an early diagnosis. Anomalous congenital bands should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in pediatric patients. ACB may cause serious morbidities due to ischemic intestinal.
