ABSTRACT
The persistence of the omphalo-enteric conduct is a rare, but possible, cause of pathology in children. Haemorrhage and intestinal occlusion are the most frequent clinical presentations, usually in infants. We describe the case of a 10 year old boy, who was admitted in our department for what seemed first to be an acute appendicitis. During hospitalization, the clinical picture turned on to an intestinal occlusion, and the patient finally required surgery. We performed exploratory laparotomy and we discovered a mechanical occlusion by persistence of the omphalo-enteric conduct, which was treated according to standard protocols. The post-operative course was good, and the child was discharged 8 days after surgery. This case emphasizes that the persistence of the omphalo-enteric conduct should be sought as the source of symptoms in any child presenting with intestinal occlusion.
