Patent Vitellointeststinal duct with prolapsed and gangrenous small bowel.

Abstract

A wide variety of anomalies may occur as a result of the vitellointestinal duct (VID) failing to obliterate completely. Most reports on symptomatic VID focus on Meckel's diverticulum, while other anomalies are given little attention. We report a case of a baby of 2 months who presented with prolapsed intestinal loop through umbilicus with gangrenous changes. The gangrenous part of intestine was resected and end to end anastomosis was done.
