A case of midgut malrotation in an adult male causing volvulus and subacute intestinal obstruction

Abstract

Small bowel malrotation is a congenital disorder of midgut rotation usually encountered in paediatric age group. Here is a case report of small bowel sub-acute obstruction due to midgut volvulus precipitated by malrotation. The incidence of microtonal presentation in adults is 0.2%, making this case a rarity. This patient presented with chronic vague symptoms like dyspepsia, diffuse low-grade abdominal pain, non-projectile vomiting which were on and off for 4 to 5 years since he presented to us. Furthermore because of the remitting nature of his symptoms, these symptoms usually pointed out to a more benign ailment, so unless we do a more elaborate study like computed tomography, we might miss the diagnosis. This case report emphasis the wide range of presenting age for certain congenital disorders like malrotation of gut.

Bifunctional manganese ferrite nanoparticles: Tuning their efficiency for aniline polymerization and polyaniline nanocomposites for boosting adsorption of organic dyes

“…Properties, such as morphology, are influenced by the preparation conditions. [ 17 ] Several techniques have been established for the production of MnFe 2 O 4 NPs, such as the solid‐state reaction method, [ 18 ] combustion, [ 19 ] combustion sol–gel, [ 20 ] micro‐emulsion, [ 21 ] hydrothermal methods ( [ 22 ] ), polymer matrix‐mediated synthesis, [ 23 ] chemical precipitation, and sol–gel techniques. [ 24 ] MnFe 2 O 4 is unstable in air at high temperatures, and Mn 2+ ions on the surface oxidize to form Mn 3+ ions.…”
