| Summary: | Malrotation of the mid gut is the most common congenital
anomaly which might be 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, generalised weakness with no previous history
of any symptoms, who was diagnosed as mid gut volvulus
which eventually turned out to be malrotation of mid gut
and with incidental finding of annular pancreas. |
