  • Title: Apple peel deformity of the small bowel without atresia in a congenital mesenteric defect.
    Author: Llore N, Tomita S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2013 Jan; 48(1):e9-11. PubMed ID: 23331843.
    Abstract:
    Congenital mesenteric defects are rare causes of bowel obstruction. Even rarer are mesenteric defects with an apple peel type of deformity, probably described definitively only once previously. We present a case of a 3 year old boy who presented with a septic-like picture of severe metabolic acidosis and lethargy from a bowel obstruction with bowel ischemia. At laparotomy he was found to have bowel infarction due to herniation through a congenital mesenteric defect with an apple peel type of deformity of the bowel without bowel atresia.
