Colonic atresia and stenosis are rare causes of intestinal obstruction in the infant. Only 10 cases have been reported in Literature since 1966 and only one late-onset case has been reported in Literature until now. We describe the case of a 3 day old baby presenting with abdominal distension, failure to pass meconium and vomiting. X-ray of the abdomen showed dilated gut loops. Exploratory laparotomy was performed. At the junction of descending and sigmoid colon a stenosis was found, laparotomy also revealed a perforation of transverse colon. Transverse colostomy and a mucous fistula of sigmoid colon was performed after resecting stenosing segment and colon distal to perforation site upto stenosing site. Diagnosis was confirmed on histopathology. Colostomy was close after six weaks with uneventful recovery. Considering both the Literature and our case, congenital colonic stenosis should be considered one of the rare differential diagnoses in a neonate presenting as complete or partial intestinal obstruction.

High Index Of Suspicion

Although colonic volvulus is a relatively rare cause of large bowel obstruction, accounting for up to 5% of all cases of intestinal obstruction, transverse colon volvulus is extremely uncommon compared with volvulus of the sigmoid colon or caecum and is responsible for only 3% of all reported cases. We report an unusual case of spontaneous volvulus of the transverse colon in a young man with sickle cell disease who underwent resection with primary anastamosis. Having a high index of suspicion and early operative intervention allowed for this patient to have an uneventful postoperative course.

Unusual Situation

Ectopic spleen is a rare splenic malformation. Apart from torsion of the vascular pedicle, a common complication, an ectopic spleen could be responsible of an acute intestinal obstruction. We report a case of an 8-year-old girl who presented an acute abdomen, following of the transverse colon strangulation by the torsion of the vascular pedicle of a wandering spleen. The patients benefited a surgical opening into the abdomen who has been confirmed the diagnosis and made a detorsion of the vascular pedicle of spleen with splenopexy.The interest of this case report lies on the rarity of a wandering spleen and on the unusual situation of transverse colon strangulation by the vascular pedicle of spleen.

Intestinal obstruction in pregnancy is rare but has a high maternal and foetal mortality. We present a case of 32-year-old patient who presented in her 2nd trimester of pregnancy with signs and symptoms of large bowel obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy revealed that the transverse colon had herniated through a diaphragmatic tear as the cause of the intestinal obstruction. The delays in presentation and diagnostic dilemmas associated with intestinal obstruction in pregnancy are manifested in this case. Keywords: intestinal obstruction; pregnancy; diaphragmatic hernia

The authors presented a rare observation from practice - agenesis of the midgut. In the antenatal period, initially, according to ultrasound, the diagnosis of gastroschisis was made, which was not confirmed later. After the birth of a child, he was repeatedly operated on for congenital intestinal obstruction. It was revealed that most of the jejunum, ileum, cecum, ascending, right half of the transverse colon were absent, and a anastomosis between jejunum and transversum was performed. In the postoperative period, it was not possible to cope with the intestinal and protein-energy deficiency, and the child exerted at home. The section has confirmed clinical diagnoses. The authors draw attention to the possibility of resorption of the extraperitoneally located intestine at the end of the first period of intrauterine rotation with a possible vascular and / or ischemic disaster.

Colon Volvulus

Transverse colon volvulus is the rarest type of colonic volvulus, with a higher morbidity and mortality rate. In pregnancy, intestinal obstruction due to transverse colon volvulus is rare and seldom reported, and its timely diagnosis can be difficult. We report an unusual case of transverse colon volvulus in a young female at late-term pregnancy. A 28-years-old, pregnant woman, gravida 2, para 1, at 34 weeks of gestation, presented with progressive abdominal pain and distention, commencing about 12 hours prior to admission, associated with vomiting and obstipation.  Vital signs were stable. However, the abdomen was asymmetrically hugely distended.  The initial abdominal ultrasound showed a single viable intrauterine fetus and dilated loops of bowels. As fetal distress progressed throughout the admission, a laparotomy was performed, which revealed an unexpected transverse colonic volvulus. Resection of the twisted segment and primary anastomosis were performed, followed by a cesarean section to deliver the baby. The mother made a satisfactory recovery. Although this patient’s preoperative clinical findings suggested colonic obstruction, the diagnosis of transverse colonic volvulus was only made intraoperatively and has seldom been previously described. Chronic constipation, the enlarging uterus, and the anatomical redundancy of the transverse colon may have been contributing factors. Transverse colon volvulus in late pregnancy is uncommon. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention can significantly minimize maternal and fetal mortality.
