  ABSTRACT: Midgut volvulus is a clinical rare condition which appears as recurrent intermittent abdominal pain after consumption of food with intermittent colicky pain and sometimes with completely asymptomatic period. This gut twist may result in complications such as ischemia, obstruction, hemorrhage, or perforation. In the yolk sac during the third week of intrauterine life, there is normal communication with intraembryonic gut. During development proceeds, this communication gets thinner into a tube known as the vitellointestinal duct. Vitellointestinal duct usually becomes obliterated before eighth week of intrauterine life. In about 2% of people this duct persists and gives rise to a group of anomalies such as Meckel’s diverticulum is the commonest and complete patency of the duct is the rarest. Here we present the case of a 34-year-old male who presented with both conditions.
