Abstract

Total persistent omphalomesenteric canal as a cause of small-bowel obstruction is an exceptional finding. A neonate presented with occlusion due to volvulus of the small bowel around a total persistent omphalomesenteric canal. Remnants of the duct were successfully resected and the postoperative course was uneventful.
