Primary Segmental Volvulus Mimicking Ileal Atresia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neonatal intestinal volvulus in the absence of malrotation is a rare occurrence and rarer still is the intestinal volvulus in absence of any other predisposing factors. Primary segmental volvulus in neonates is very rare entity, which can have catastrophic outcome if not intervened at appropriate time. We report two such cases, which were preoperatively diagnosed as ileal atresia and intraoperatively revealed to be primary segmental volvulus of the ileum.

We present a case of isolated ileal atresia suggested using results of prenatal sonography which showed multiple markedly dilated fluid-filled intestinal loops with changeable shapes and positions secondary to active peristalsis. P...

متن کاملSequestered Bowel In A Atresia
A 3-day-old male baby was diagnosed to have proximal small bowel atresia. At operation type-IIIa jejuno-ileal atresia (JIA) was encountered with a jumbled up sequestered bowel-loop-mass. The jejunum was 10 cm and ileum merely 1 cm. The bowel was sequestered on account of volvulus in-utero. Atresia is derived from Greek words " a " (no) and " tresis " (orifice); and refers to congenital obstruct...
