Volvulus of the jejunum on cystic lymphangioma: About a clinical case

Afr J Paediatr Surg. 2016 Apr-Jun;13(2):95-97. doi: 10.4103/0189-6725.182564.

Abstract

Intestinal volvulus on mesenteric cysticum lymphangioma (CL) is rare in children. The clinical picture is not very suggestive. We report a case of intestinal volvulus on CL in a 7-year-old girl after an abdominal trauma. Resection and anastomosis were made. The confirmation diagnosis was done by anatomopathological examination. Early diagnosis of intra-abdominal CL will allow avoiding complication.
