Mansoor, Khizer; Al Hamidi, Sa'ad; Khan, Abdul Mannan. & Samujh, Ram
Abstract
An 11-year-old female child presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and constipation. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a cecal volvulus due to a congenital band and malfixation of the cecum. This was treated by excision of the band, derotation and decompression of cecum though an appendiceal stump suction.
Keywords
