Article Synopsis
- Incomplete 90° clockwise intestinal rotation results in the colon being located on the right side of the abdomen and the small intestine on the left, leading to a mirror image of the common mesentery.
- A case study of a 19-year-old patient with cerebral palsy showed symptoms of melaena and inflammatory anaemia, and CT scans indicated signs of Crohn's disease along with the mentioned anatomical anomaly.
- This intestinal rotation anomaly can be asymptomatic and may be accidentally found during evaluations for other medical issues.
Article Synopsis
- - Leriche syndrome is an arterial disease affecting the lower limbs, characterized by blockage at the junction of the aorta and iliac arteries, leading to reduced blood flow.
- - A 20-year-old female, previously healthy, experienced sudden lack of blood flow to her legs, prompting medical evaluation and imaging that revealed significant blood clots in the affected arteries.
- - She underwent successful aortic-bi-iliac bypass surgery to restore blood flow and is undergoing additional testing to understand potential causes of her blood clotting issues.
