    AbstractCongenital bands are rare causes of intestinal obstruction and often leads to diagnostic challenges. Diagnostic delays in cases of mechanical obstruction might lead to irreversible bowel ischemia and perforation. Presently described is a case of an 18 month young child with severe vomiting developed for one day. The child was initially thought to have acute viral enteritis and treated accordingly. Due to the severity, an X-Ray and computed tomography scan were sent which pointed towards the possibility of having congenital bands. He was treated operatively. The child was kept under observation for eleven days and was discharged. Although rare, intestinal obstruction due to congenital bands must be considered when treating a child with severe vomiting. Keywords: case reports, congenital abnormalities, intestinal obstruction, vomiting.
