Résumé
Intestinal malrotation is a congenital rotational anomaly that results of abnormal rotation of the gut, said to occur in 1 in 6000 live births. Common mesentery predisposes to volvulus of the midgut and internal hernias due to the left position of the cecum and appendix. The association of this anomaly with acute left appendicitis is rarely reported in the literature. Occurrence of acute appendicitis on common mesentery is a source of diagnosis difficulties, which may lead to a surgical management delay. We report a case of a 10-year-old boy, admitted for a left-sided iliac pain whose radiological investigations confirmed a left acute appendicitis associated with complete common mesentery. The child underwent laparoscopic surgery with simple post-operative follow-up.
