Mesenterium ileocolicum commune with normal rotation of the midgut is described in an 11-year-old @entity1 and a 12-year-old @entity1 . Both had had recurrent @entity490 for several years before the diagnosis was made. Barium enema showed the entire colon to be located in the middle and left part of the abdomen. Operation showed displacement of the right colon due to the mesenterium ileocolicum commune. The @entity1 also had congenital bands across the duodenum, which could explain previous episodes of @entity391 and delayed emptying of the stomach after a barium meal. The @entity1 had only rudimentary transduodenal bands. Fixation of the right colon, lysis of duodenal bands and appendectomy were performed in both cases. Postoperatively both @entity1 have been asymptomatic. These two cases, with a common ileocolic mesentery and normal midgut rotation, demonstrate a rare abnormality of intestinal fixation during the third embryonic stage of development. Diagnosis of the cause underlying the chronic recurrent @entity490 was delayed, but the @entity1 were eventually cured by operation.

Chronic recurrent XXXX in childhood due to mesenterium ileocolicum commune. Two cases with normal rotation of the intestine.
