“…This approach was similar to that done by Gourishetti et al. [ 11 ], in which the results of the KUB and upper GI series revealed significant distention of the abdomen and no malrotation respectively. To reach a definitive diagnosis of this report, an exploratory laparotomy was performed revealing an intraperitoneal adhesion extending from the mesentery to the second part of the duodenum distal to ampulla of Vater thus leading to duodenal obstruction.…”

“…According to the literature, volvulus is usually associated with small bowel malrotation and abnormal mesenteric fixation, resulting in rotations and abnormal torsions during the period of intestinal development. Interestingly, in the present study, no malrotation was observed and the occurring volvulus was attributed to ischemic intestinal stenosis and extended prestenotic dilatation [ 9 ]. Fortunately, the other organ systems of the infant were not affected, especially the neurodevelopmental outcome was normal in the follow-up for our newborn.…”

Preeclampsia is a human-specific hypertensive disorder of gestation. It is associated with short-term adverse effects in the fetus and long-term complications in the neonate, mainly due to disrupted blood flow during critical periods of intrauterine development. An ischemic event in the uterus can affect many systems of the fetus, including a small bowel involvement. We present a case of a preterm, small for gestational age neonate with severe intrauterine growth restriction, small bowel stenosis, and volvulus without malrotation, born to a mother with severe preeclampsia.

“…Resuscitation with normal saline and broad-spectrum antibiotics should be initiated if signs of perforation or shock are present. Due to the severity of this condition, plans for postoperative intensive care should be considered [ 10 ].…”

Numerous emergencies that are life-threatening might present in the newborn period of life. Thus, physicians need an in-depth understanding of such circumstances in order to treat critically ill neonates. Identification of these illnesses and choosing the appropriate course of action, which includes patient stabilization, differential diagnosis based on laboratory and imaging results, and well-guided therapy, are the responsibility of the emergency department staff. The most typical diagnoses in this kind of situation are severe bacterial infections, congenital heart illness, gastrointestinal crises (including malrotation with midgut volvulus, necrotizing enterocolitis, etc.), respiratory problems, neurologic abnormalities, and child abuse. Reviewing the most prevalent ailments of a severely unwell newborn in the emergency room is the major goal of this review article. In developing countries, neonatal mortality rates are a crucial determinant of their development. Management of emergencies especially in neonates can be very difficult and fatal if misdiagnosed. In this article, we will be discussing neonatal gastrointestinal (GI) emergencies.
