Abstract
Intestinal malrotation refers to the abnormal positioning of the intestines due to a deviation from normal developmental stages. Volvulus is seen in 60%-70% of neonates diagnosed with intestinal malrotation. We are reporting a case of s six-day-old male who presented with multiple episodes of bilious vomiting and constipation and had malrotation of intestines with midgut volvulus. After a contrast upper GI study, the patient was taken for exploratory laparotomy, and extensive patches of an early stage of bowel ischemia were observed; resection was avoided at this stage. In the second-look surgery, all the gangrenous bowel loops were resected, and anastomosis was done.
