Abstract

Vitellointestinal duct connects developing midgut to the primitive yolk sac and it provides nutrition to the embryo and it remains patent and connected to the intestines until the fifth to ninth week of gestation

Here we report a case of a 17 year old male who presented with the complain of abdominal pain, not passing flatus and stool since 3 days

Although persistent omphalomesentric duct is an extremely infrequent cause of small bowel obstruction in adult patients, it should be taken into consideration in patients without any previous surgical history.
