J Nippon Med Sch. 2017;84(6):304-307. doi: 10.1272/jnms.84.304.

Abstract

Anomalous congenital band (ACB) is rare and difficult to identify preoperatively. Here we report a pediatric ACB case that was preoperatively suspected using computed tomography and was difficult to differentiate from omphalomesenteric duct anomaly. ACB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.

Keywords: abdominal pain; anomalous congenital band; intestinal gangrene; intestinal obstruction.
