| We present a case of sonographically-diagnosed mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus in
a neonate. Plain radiography revealed severe gaseous gastric distension.
Ultrasonography (US) showed a displaced and compressed antrum and pylorus
above the gastroesophageal junction. The provisional diagnosis was mesenteroaxial
gastric volvulus. The patient underwent an emergency laparotomy and a mesenteroaxial
gastric volvulus was found. This case shows that US can be useful for diagnosing
mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus in neonates. |
