Abstract
Midgut volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adults. Its presentation is similar to intestinal obstruction caused by other conditions. So delay in the diagnosis of this condition can lead to vascular disaster which causes a poor prognosis in the patient.So early diagnosis and management is necessary to prevent bowel gangrene. We report a case of 23yrs old female who presented with abdominal pain, distension and shock . She underwent emergency laparotomy which revealed midgut volvulous with gangrene of bowel for which she underwent bowel resection and jejunotransverse anastamosis. Post operatively she was started on total parenteral nutrition to improve the nutritional status of the patient.
