Case Studies on Ultrasound & Sonography
Case Study on Pediatric Gastrointestinal Ultrasound
A 3-year-old boy with recurrent abdominal pain and vomiting was diagnosed with midgut volvulus, a complication of malrotation, using ultrasound. The “whirlpool sign,” indicative of twisted intestines, was observed. This case highlights the importance of ultrasound in diagnosing this condition, especially in children with atypical presentations. Learn more about the clinical presentation, ultrasound findings, and surgical management of midgut volvulus.
