- 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.
