Abstract
Congenital short bowel with functional intestinal obstruction and absence of appendix
vermiformis is a very rare condition with poor prognosis. Seventeen cases of congenital
short bowel have been reported previously in the literature. The etiology is unknown.
In this report, a case of congenital short bowel, combined with functional intestinal
obstruction, malrotation, and absence of the appendix vermiformis, is presented and
the pathogenesis discussed.
