Summary
A few of the more important anomalies which the primary midgut loop may present are illustrated by case histories. It is essential to note that many of the abnormalities which caused symptoms were accompanied by one or more “silent” anomalies. Many of these congenital deviations do not cause symptoms per se, but are discovered only through roentgenographic studies or on laparotomy for an unrelated condition. This statement is especially true of the paraduodenal hernias. Congenital anomalies must be recalled when an explanation for. a chronic digestive disorder is sought, especially if the difficulty dates back to birth.
