A neonate with intestinal volvulus without malrotation exhibiting early jaundice with a suspected fetal onset

Hara K, Kinoshita M, Kin T, Arimitsu T, Matsuzaki Y, Ikeda K, Tomita H, Fujino A, Kuroda T. A neonate with intestinal volvulus without malrotation exhibiting early jaundice with a suspected fetal onset. Turk J Pediatr 2015; 57: 418-421.Intestinal volvulus without malrotation is a rare disease that causes volvulus of the small intestine despite normal intestinal rotation and fixation. We encountered a neonate with this disease who developed early jaundice and was suspected to have a fetal onset. This patient was characterized by early jaundice complicating intestinal volvulus without malrotation and is considered to have exhibited reduced fetal movement and early jaundice as a result of volvulus, necrosis, and hemorrhage of the small intestine in the fetal period. If abdominal distention accompanied by early jaundice is noted in a neonate, intestinal volvulus without malrotation and associated intraabdominal hemorrhage should be suspected and promptly treated.
