ABSTRACT
Omphalomesenteric duct remnant is one of the least common congenital abnormalities due to vitelline sac persistence. Among the five types of this abnormalities, omphalomesenteric band or obliterated omphalomesenteric duct remnant is the least common. We report a 64 years old male presenting with vomiting, abdominal pain and absence of stools. The patient was operated with the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction and a persistent omphalomesenteric duct that caused the bowel obstruction was found. The patient had an uneventful postoperative period as is discharged 24 hours later.
RESUMEN
El remanente del conducto onfalomesentérico es una de las anomalías congénitas más raras asociadas con la permanencia del saco vitelino. Dentro de los cinco subtipos que se describen en la literatura, la banda onfalomesentérica o conducto onfalomesentérico obliterado es el de menor frecuencia. Presentamos un caso muy infrecuente de persistencia del conducto onfalomesentérico, que ocasionó una obstrucción intestinal en un paciente adulto y que fue resuelto de forma quirúrgica.
