"History and etymology "
"These "mesenteric attachments" were first described as a cause of congenital duodenal obstruction by American surgeon William E Ladd (1880-1967) in 1932 5. In his publication, he attributed the disease to an embryologic failure of rotation. The surgical procedure for removal of these peritoneal bands is known as Ladd's procedure 4."
"They are usually not visualised directly unless very extensive. Indirect visualisation by small bowel pass-through studies is possible. The intestinal malformation may be seen on CT, pass-through studies, US, and MRI."
