Intestinal obstruction caused by mesodiverticular band in children: a cohort study

This 22-year cohort study of 20 pediatric patients examines intestinal obstruction caused by mesodiverticular bands—vitelline vessel remnants that can occur with or without Meckel's diverticulum. The condition presents with nonspecific symptoms but carries significant risk of bowel strangulation and necrosis, requiring prompt surgical intervention for diagnosis and treatment.
