It usually affects the neck, head, and rarely, the abdomen. Volvulus is a serious condition, which occurs as a result of bowel twisting around itself or around the mesentery leading to severe consequences such as obstruction. The most common cause of volvulus in children is malrotation. We report a rare case of a 2-year-old boy who was brought by his parents to the emergency room with the complaint of constipation for 5 days and vomiting for the last 4 days. Examination and plain abdominal X-ray suggested intestinal obstruction. Furthermore, ultrasonography indicated the presence of a cyst and dilatation of the bowel. On exploratory laparotomy, an ileal volvulus caused by cystic lymphangioma developed on the mesenteric wall and associated with ileal and jejunal dilatation was observed. The diseased segments were resected in addition to 5cm before and after the cystic lymphangioma to prevent recurrence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajm.ajm_203_18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,8]],"date-time":"2019-04-08T12:20:29Z","timestamp":1554726029000},"page":"82-85","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Ileal volvulus secondary to cystic lymphangioma: A rare case report with a literature review"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Shoog F","family":"Alfadhel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Student, Faculty of Medicine, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences KSAU-HS, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdulmajeed A","family":"Alghamdi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Intern, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Baha University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saif A","family":"Alzahrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Intern, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Baha University, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"811","article-title":"Lymphangioma of small bowel wall: A rare case report","volume":"3","author":"S Jain","year":"2014","journal-title":"SEAJCRR"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"397","DOI":"10.1016\/j.epsc.2015.08.005","article-title":"Segmental volvulus of the ileum without malrotation in an infant: A case report","volume":"3","author":"Y Kim","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Paediatr Surg Case Reports"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"233","article-title":"A small bowel lymphangioma presenting as a volvulus","volume":"16","author":"W Day","year":"2010","journal-title":"Hong Kong Med J"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"77","DOI":"10.1016\/j.epsc.2017.11.017","article-title":"Giant jejunal mesenteric lymphangioma causing acute small bowel volvulus","volume":"28","author":"L Cardella","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg Case Reports"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.3348\/jksr.2012.66.3.283","article-title":"CT findings of ileal cystic lymphangioma: A case report","volume":"66","author":"Y Kim","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Korean Society Radiol"},{"key":"ref7","first-page":"89","article-title":"Intraabdominal cystic lymphangiomas in children: A single center experience","volume":"3","author":"M Prehal","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int J Clin Pediatr"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"376","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1554914","article-title":"Laparoscopic treatment of intestinal malrotation in children","volume":"26","author":"N Ooms","year":"2016","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"164","DOI":"10.4103\/2249-4847.140406","article-title":"Rare location of mesenteric cystic lymphangioma in an infant","volume":"3","author":"M Sham","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Clin Neonatol"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"572","DOI":"10.4236\/jct.2015.67062","article-title":"Intra-abdominal cystic lymphangioma: Report of 21 cases","volume":"6","author":"M Mabrouk","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Cancer Therapy"}],"container-title":["Avicenna Journal of Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.4103\/ajm.AJM_203_18.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,9]],"date-time":"2021-08-09T22:39:20Z","timestamp":1628548760000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.4103\/ajm.AJM_203_18"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,4]]},"references-count":9,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,9]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2019,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ajm.ajm_203_18","archive":["Portico","CLOCKSS"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2231-0770","2249-4464"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2231-0770","type":"print"},{"value":"2249-4464","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,4]]}}}
