Abstract

Ladd's bands are generally known to cause duodenal and small bowel obstruction. Sigmoid colon compression by Ladd's bands has not been reported till now though a few cases of colonic obstruction have been reported. We report a case of sigmoid colon obstruction secondary to its herniation into Ladd's band in a child with intestinal malrotation.
