Abstract

Previous abdominal surgery is the most common cause of mechanical small bowel obstruction. However, in patients with no history of abdominal surgery, the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical small bowel obstruction is difficult. A persistent omphalomesenteric duct remnant is a rare finding that typically presents in the pediatric population and is extremely rare in patients aged > 60 years. In the present report, we describe the case of an omphalomesenteric duct cyst causing small bowel obstruction in a 69-year-old man with no history of a surgical procedure.

Zusammenfassung

Die häufigste Ursache einer mechanischen Darmobstruktion des Dünndarms ist eine vorangegangene Bauchchirurgie. An Patienten, die keiner Bauchchirurgie unterzogen wurden, ist eine Erkennung und Behandlung einer mechanischen Darmobstruktion des Dünndarms kaum möglich. Überreste eines Dottergangs sind eher bei Kindern zu finden, jedoch äußerst selten in über 60-jährigen Patienten. Dieser Bericht beschreibt den Fall einer Dottergangszyste aufgrund einer mechanischen Darmobstruktion des Dünndarms bei einem 69-jährigen Mann, an dem keine chirurgischen Eingriffe vorgenommen wurden.
