Publication Intestinal obstruction by congenital band(Institute of Medicine, 2018) Bhattarai, A; Bhandari, R; Dahal, GAbstract Congenital bands are rare cause of intestinal obstruction. We report a case of eight year female with features of intestinal obstruction. The patient had no history of abdominal surgery, inflammation and trauma in the past while clinical examination was not diagnostic. Gastrograffin study done revealed no passage of contrast below third part of duodenum. An emergency exploratory laparotomy was subsequently performed which revealed a band compressing the small bowel 10 cm distal to the duodenojejunal flexure which was released. The bowel was examined and found to be healthy. Postoperative course was uneventful. Key words: Congenital bands, Gastrogaffin study
