PURPOSE Intestinal rotation abnormalities and complex congenital heart disease associated with heterotaxia coexist. Despite the risk for midgut volvulus, performing a Ladd procedure for asymptomatic malrotation with heterotaxia remains to be controversial because the presumed risk for postoperative complications is thought to exceed the benefits of the operation. The purpose of this study was t...

Introduction Gut malrotation is a congenital disorder of abnormal intestinal rotation and fixation, which predisposes to life-threatening mid-gut volvulus. The condition is frequently suspected in neonates with recurrent vomiting and the current diagnostic technique is an upper GI X-ray fluoroscopy contrast study. This is not easy to perform and may give equivocal results [1-3]. It also carries...

Yadav DK, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-222247 Description Caecal volvulus accounts for 30% of all colonic volvulus. It occurs due to torsion or hyperflexion of an enlarged, poorly fixed hypermobile caecum. It manifests in two forms: axial rotation of the caecum and the ileum around the mesentery and the less common caecal bascule, where the bowel folds up on itself. Intestinal...

Exposure to propylthiouracil in early pregnancy may be associated with an increased risk of birth defects. But the spectrum of associated congenital anomalies is not yet well defined. While preliminary reports suggest that most cases of propylthiouracil-associated birth defects are restricted to the preauricular and urinary systems, careful consideration should be given to other possible manife...

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...

A 44-year-old man had been suffering from nausea, vomiting and watery diarrhea for 5 days and was then admitted to Dankook University Hospital. He had suffered from several episodes of mild symptoms, including abdominal distension, loss of appetite, easy satiety, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea throughout his lifetime, but most episodes had been ignored by him or physicians. An upper gastrointes...

AIMS To document the long term course of chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome (CIIPS) in children with defined enteric neuromuscular disease, and the place and type of surgery used in their management; in addition, to identify prognostic factors. METHODS Children with CIIPS were investigated and treated prospectively. RESULTS Twenty four children presented congenitally,...

BACKGROUND Internal herniation through lesser omentum hiatus and gastrocolic ligament with malrotation is extremely rare. This type of internal hernia has rarely been described before. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and prone to misdiagnosis. CASE PRESENTATION A 38-year-old Chinese woman was an emergency admission to our hospital with a sudden onset of acute epigastralgia for the past 14...

Background: Intestinal obstruction is one the major cause that patients underwent emergency operations and which might lead to complications could be turn fatal. Prompt evaluation treatment prevents mortality morbidity of post-operative patients. Methods: Prospective study conducted between 01 April 2020 31 March 2022 in 50 intestinal operated according inclusion criteria. Pre-operative, intrao...
