The transmesosigmoid hernia is a rare type of sigmoid mesocolon hernia. Its presentation is non-specific and thus hardly ever preoperatively diagnosed. Its diagnosis often requires surgical corroboration. This case report aims to improve on the preoperative diagnosis with a proposed observed sign on CT. All literature reviewed described radiological findings related to the small bowel; thus, features of small bowel obstruction was the “hallmark” of internal hernias. This paper intends to describe the features of the sigmoid mesocolon internal hernias, illustrate and propose a never reported configuration of the sigmoid colon. This sigmoid colon configuration has a resemblance to the omega sign. We intend to present a new hallmark sign, which may serve as a clue in the identification of internal hernias involving the sigmoid mesocolon.

Sigmoid Mesocolon

Mesenteric cysts are rare and occur in patients of any age. They are asymptomatic and found incidentally or during the management of their complications. They commonly originate from the small bowel mesentery, although a proportion of them have been found to originate from the mesocolon (24%) and the retroperitoneum [1] [2,3,4,5] (14.5%). A mesenteric cyst originating in the sigmoid mesocolon is a very rare nding. They are a rare cause of abdominal pain and are discovered incidentally. If symptomatic, patients with these cysts present with abdominal pain, vomiting and low backache. Performing a thorough physical examination and conducting radiological investigations like ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) are keys in diagnosing the mesenteric cysts.

Introduction Locoregional variation in the human colon is important in surgical practice; the length and mobility of different colonic regions impacts on laparoscopic and endoscopic colorectal procedures. The aim of this study was to refine anatomical understanding of the colon in terms of segmental length and mobility. Methods The colons of 35 cadavers were examined to determine lengths of caecum as well as ascending, transverse, descending and rectosigmoid colon, and to characterise colonic mobility at each location in terms of the mesenteric attachments. The presence of Jackson’s membrane (a congenital peritoneal band of the right colon) was also documented. Results The mean total colonic length was 131.2cm (standard deviation [SD]: 13.4cm). There was no correlation with height, age or sex; the best predictor of total colonic length was the length of the rectosigmoid segment. The mean height of the transverse mesocolon was 7.4cm (SD: 3.6cm) and that of the sigmoid mesocolon was 6.3cm (SD: 2.6cm). Two-thirds of the subjects had a mobile portion of the ascending colon and nearly one-third had a mobile descending colon. A mobile ascending colon was significantly more common in females. Jackson’s membrane was present in 66% of the subjects. Conclusions This cadaveric study suggests that rectosigmoid length accounts for most of the variability in total colonic length. The significant proportion of colons with mobility of the ascending and descending segments prompts revision of the traditional anatomical teaching of these segments as fixed and retroperitoneal. Mobility of the ascending colon may account for the anecdotal finding that colonoscopy is more challenging in female patients. Jackson’s membrane was identified in most colons.
