“…A congenital band can be single vascular band or multiple dense or adhesive bands like our case [6][7][8][9]. According to previous related reports in the literatures, terminal ileum is the most common at the level of obstruction [4,6,7,[10][11][12]. SBO is mostly caused by compression of the bowel by the band, and may develop in case that intestinal loop is trapped band and the mesentery [2,12].…”

Although congenital bands that lead to intestinal obstruction are extremely rare, if not identified early enough, they can lead to dangerous and often life-threatening situations.…”
