Bilious Vomiting and Volvulus: The Eyes Cannot See What the Mind Does Not Know
Journal Title: APSP Journal of Case Reports - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Neonates referred from various sources with single or more episodes of bilious vomiting undergo radiological investigation and ultrasound examination to exclude malrotation and volvulus. Although many of these will have a normal study and feed well afterwards or may have other diagnoses, nevertheless, approximately 6 to 8% will need corrective surgery for malrotation [1,2]. Rarely an older child may present with similar symptoms.
