Malrotation, a common cause of infant intestinal obstruction, is rarely seen in twins. This report details a rare case of twins both diagnosed with malrotation and non-bilious vomiting shortly after birth.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Gastrointestinal Development

Background:

  • Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly frequently associated with intestinal obstruction in infants.
  • While common in the general infant population, intestinal malrotation is infrequently reported in twin gestations.

Observation:

  • This case study presents a rare instance of intestinal malrotation identified in both twins of a pair.
  • Both infants exhibited non-bilious vomiting within the first 24 hours of life, prompting medical evaluation.

Findings:

  • The diagnostic workup confirmed intestinal malrotation in each twin.
  • The co-occurrence of malrotation in twins highlights a potential genetic or developmental predisposition.

Implications:

Related Experiment Videos

  • This case underscores the importance of considering intestinal malrotation in neonates presenting with vomiting, even within twin pairs.
  • Further research into the etiology of congenital gastrointestinal anomalies in multiples may be warranted.
