“…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.…”
