Anomalous congenital band (ACB) is rare and difficult to identify preoperatively. Here we report a pediatric ACB case that was preoperatively suspected using computed tomography and was difficult to differentiate from omphalomesenteric duct anomaly. ACB should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen.
