Abstract :

 Introduction: Congenital bands are a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in infancy and child–hood. Their occurrence in adults is an extremely rare condition[1,2]. We hereby report a case of congenital band leading to intestinal obstruction in 32 year old male. Case report: A 32 years old male, presented with symptoms of intestinal obstruction. Plain X–ray abdomen erect view showed dilated bowel loop. Sonography showed fluid collection be–tween bowel loops. CECT (contrast–enhanced computed tomography) abdomen showed di–lated jejunal loop. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a congenital band extending from base of mesentery to anti–mesenteric border of jejunum and appendix. The band was divided and appendicectomy performed. Histopathological examination revealed a fiotic band contain–ing blood vessels. Postoperative period was uneventful. Conclusion: Congenital band is a rare entity however it should be included in the differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction even in older individuals with no history of trauma or sur–gery
