Mesodiverticular band

G F Johnson, A D Verhagen

    Radiology
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The mesodiverticular band, an embryologic remnant, can cause small-bowel obstruction. This persistent band forms a snare-like opening, leading to bowel herniation and obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Embryology
    • Gastrointestinal Surgery
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • The mesodiverticular band is a remnant of the vitelline circulation.
    • It supplies arterial blood to the Meckel's diverticulum.
    • Errors in involution can lead to a persistent band.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the embryologic origin and pathological mechanism of the mesodiverticular band.
    • To explain how this band causes small-bowel obstruction.
    • To correlate clinical and radiological findings with this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of embryologic development of vitelline circulation.
    • Pathological analysis of persistent mesodiverticular bands.
    • Correlation of surgical findings with clinical presentations and radiological imaging.

    Main Results:

    • The mesodiverticular band originates from the vitelline circulation.
    • Persistence of the band creates a snare-like opening.
    • This leads to herniation and obstruction of small bowel loops.

    Conclusions:

    • The mesodiverticular band is a significant cause of acute, low, small-bowel obstruction.
    • Understanding its embryologic origin is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Clinical and radiological findings are key to identifying this obstruction pattern.
