Closed loop intestinal obstruction due to vitello-intestinal remnants.
Two young children presented with acute small bowel obstruction associated with closed loop ileal obstruction caused by Meckel's diverticulum and vitello-intestinal duct remnant respectively. In each, resection of the vitelline remnant and ischaemic ileum with primary small bowel anastomosis resulted in good recovery.
