Abstract:
Urgent investigation is crucial for infants with bilious vomiting, potentially indicating bowel obstruction. Upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopy aids diagnosis, but is not without its challenges. This case report describes a rare case of neonatal intestinal malrotation and mid-gut volvulus with an additional complication of congenital peritoneal encapsulation.
Contribution:
This case study offers insights into associated diagnostic challenges and underscores the value of utilising fluoroscopy in diagnosing complex gastrointestinal conditions.
