During dissection of the abdomen the descending coton
was found to be displaced medially with a persistent
mesocolon still present. In the lateral recess created by
this abnormal position were found coils of ileum and
jejunum. The ascending colon although not displaced
also contained a persistent mesocolon, although
somewhat shorter in length. Throughout its length the
descending colon was only 2.5 cm. in width, however,
upon pathological examination was found to be
normal.
