Intestinal volvulus is a common condition seen in infancy and adulthood, but small bowel volvulus is a rare condition affecting the fetus in utero. Very few cases have been reported describing the ultrasound findings of the same. We present a case report of a case of intestinal volvulus which was diagnosed prenatally based on the ultrasound features of whirlpool sign and coffee bean sign. An emergency caesarian section was performed, small bowel volvulus was confirmed on post-natal ultrasound, and the neonate was subsequently operated. Although these signs have been separately described previously in the literature, in our case both these signs were seen in the same patient. Our case is a rare presentation with the occurrence of volvulus without malrotation, the contrary being more common.

A 6-year-old child developed head injury and nasal bleeding and showed poor respiratory effort. The computed tomography scan of brain revealed frontal sinus fracture and pneumocephalus, which was causing mass effect on the frontal lobes leading to flattening of their convexity. There was widening of interhemispheric fissure with presence of air within. This mass effect on frontal lobes with separation of the frontal poles has been called "the Mount Fuji sign," and is suggestive of tension pneumocephalus.

Supernumerary testis is a rare congenital anomaly of the testis arising from abnormal division in the genital ridge during the embryogenesis of testis. We describe a case of polyorchidism detected incidentally in a 52-year-old with renal failure.
