    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal surgery
    • Pediatric radiology
    • Gastrointestinal disorders

    Background:

    • Acute gastric volvulus is a rare but life-threatening condition in neonates.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention are critical for favorable outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Three cases of acute gastric volvulus in infants during the first week of life are presented.
    • Radiographic and upper gastrointestinal contrast studies revealed a consistent, diagnostic pattern across all cases.

    Findings:

    • A characteristic radiographic pattern allows for unequivocal preoperative diagnosis of acute gastric volvulus.
    • The presented cases contribute to the nine total reported instances in the neonatal period.

    Implications:

  • Radiologists must recognize the specific radiographic features of acute gastric volvulus.
  • Prompt surgical intervention is mandatory to prevent gastric perforation and mortality in affected neonates.
