- Abstract
Congenital mesocolic band is an uncommon aberration in the development of the mesentery. Large-bowel obstruction secondary to adhesion and/or congenital band is very rare in children. A 6-month-old male infant who had no history of previous surgery was admitted with unremitting crying. A barium enema showed extraintestinal compression of the sigmoid colon. Laparotomy revealed an adhesive mesocolic band compressing the proximal part of the sigmoid colon. The band was lysed. The patient has remained asymptomatic since the procedure.
