Background: Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly resulting from abnormal rotation and fixation of an imperfect midgut during embryonic development. This study aims to describe the diagnosis management intestinal its comorbid diseases in children.
 Case presentation: A boy, aged 9 months, was referred regional hospital with complaints repeated vomiting accompanied by distended sto...

We report a case of a full-term infant girl who presented to us with diarrhea and vomiting for 3 days at the age of 30 days. At presentation, she was dehydrated. The abdomen was unremarkable; hernial sites were normal. WBC at admission was 5000/mm3. Intravenous fluids and antibiotics were started. Three days later, she developed fever (38.10 C), bilious vomiting and bleeding per rectum. Abdomen...

Midgut volvulus due to malrotation may result in loss of the small bowel. Until now, after derotation of the volvulus, pediatric surgeons do not deal with the mesenteric thrombosis, which causes continuing ischemia of the intestine. On occasion, a "second look" laparotomy is performed in the hope that some improvement in blood supply to the intestine has occurred. We describe a new combined tre...

Internal herniation of small intestine is a very rare entity, and it poses a real diagnostic challenge clinically. Recurrent entrapment of the bowel may lead to partial to complete intestinal obstruction and eventually strangulation of the small bowel. Of this rare clinical entity, left paraduodenal hernia is more common. High index of suspicion with prompt management may prevent bowel strangul...

1. What signs and symptoms suggest intestinal obstruction in the neonate? Signs and symptoms vary according to the location of the obstruction. Proximal intestinal obstruction leads to early bilious vomiting, typically with minimal distention. Neonates with distal intestinal obstruction often present after the first day of life with distention and bilious emesis. Bilious emesis in infants and c...

Midgut volvulus is a rare complication of pregnancy with high morbidity and mortality rates. Clinical diagnosis may be difficult in pregnant women. Ionizing radiation imaging modalities are not advised. Ultrasonography (US) is safer but sometimes is unable to reveal the characteristic whirlpool sign of midgut volvulus. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contributed to confirm diagnosis in our cas...
