Fetal Primary Small Bowel Volvulus Associated with Acute Gastric Dilatation Detected by Ultrasonography.
Kobe Journal of Medical Sciences 2019 January 12
Fetal intestinal volvulus is a rare condition, and fetal diagnosis of this disease is still challenging, especially in primary cases not accompanied by other comorbidities, such as intestinal malformations. Herein, we report a case of fetal primary small bowel volvulus associated with acute gastric dilatation detected by ultrasonography. We speculate that the mechanism of acute gastric dilatation in our case was peristatic malfunction of the whole intestine caused by a strangulated ileus resulting from fetal intestinal volvulus. In conclusion, acute gastric dilatation detected by fetal ultrasound can indicate the fetal intestinal volvulus.
