FRERICHS, Ryan  e  SEWCHURAN, Tanusha. Malrotation with mid-gut volvulus and partial small bowel peritoneal membrane encapsulation. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2024, vol.28, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778.  https://doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v28i1.2936.

Urgent investigation is crucial for infants with bilious vomiting, potentially indicating bowel obstruction. Upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopy aids diagnosis, but is not without its challenges. This case report describes a rare case of neonatal intestinal malrotation and mid-gut volvulus with an additional complication of congenital peritoneal encapsulation. CONTRIBUTION: This case study offers insights into associated diagnostic challenges and underscores the value of utilising fluoroscopy in diagnosing complex gastrointestinal conditions.

Palavras-chave : malrotation; bowel obstruction; volvulus; congenital peritoneal encapsulation; upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopy.
