Dr. Narendra Kulkarni, Dr. Rajashree Purohit

Abstract :

A three and half year old female child presented with large swelling 10 cm in diameter in umbilical region. There was history of occasional discharge from the umbilicus since birth. . On examination, there was swelling in umbilical region of size 10 cm in diameter with redness, tenderness and increased temperature with active sero–purulent discharge. Exploration was done under GA. The adhesions were separated, and the duct was dissected. The patent vitello–intestinal duct was around 10 cm in length. Postoperative recovery of the patient was uneventful and she was discharged on the 8th day. Diagnosing and management of cause of intestinal obstruction in patients without history of abdominal surgery is very challenging. We concluded surgeons should be aware of this infrequent cause of small bowel obstruction to allow for early diagnosis and to facilitate better patient outcomes
