Abstract

In this study, midgut volvulus case, one of the common causes of intestinal obstruction in neonates, was presented. The main distinguishing feature of the case was the absence of concomitant anomalies of rotation and fixation. A midgut volvulus without malrotation was detected during the operation of a 14 day- old- girl who applied to our clinic due to sudden onset of abdominal distention and bilious vomiting. Caecum was detected in the right lower quadrant and there were no Ladd bands. There were enlarged lymph nodes throughout the mesentery. No specific pathology was detected in lymph node biopsy. At the moment, the patient is at its ninth postoperative month and there are no clinical problems. We reviewed the literature on this subject and presented this case because it is a rare condition.
