title: Transverse colonic stenosis.
abstract: A 3-year child presented with episodic lower abdominal pain; during the eighth attack, a mass was palpable in the left upper quadrant, and a barium enema revealed a stenotic area in the transverse colon. This was resected and an uneventful postoperative course followed. Subsequently, the child has remained symptom-free. instruments are no longer in use.
