Dorsal mesentery agenesis is often associated with jejunal atresia and these patients present with symptoms in early neonatal life. However, very few reports were found on the agenesis of the dorsal mesentery without small bowel atresia. Here we report an 8-month-old child with mesenteric agenesis without bowel atresia presented as intestinal obstruction due to twisting of the gut along with internal herniation where a single marginal vessel was the key supply to the whole small bowel.
