Midgut volvulus

Congenital midgut volvulus is a disorder of intrauterine migration of intestinal loops that can lead to intestinal obstruction. This pathology occurs mainly in premature newborns or small children. In this article we will review the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and treatment of congenital midgut volvulus and its role in modern neonatology. Midgut prolapse (MSD) is the most common form of congenital abdominal wall defect. This is due to the fact that the midgut has a relatively short mesentery, which can be dense and unable to hold the intestine, forming physiological bends with it. In this case, intra-abdominal pressure and straining of the patient cause the development of volvulus of the intestinal loop. In various cases of Achilles tendon pathology, sections of the intestine migrate into the subperitoneal space. This process may be accompanied by a violation of the formation of the intestinal apparatus, abnormal localization of the colon in the abdominal cavity and a cut in the intestine, which leads to disruption of absorption processes

Volvulus is a complex anomaly or congenital malformation characterized by recurrent twisting of a section of intestine in the abdomen. It usually develops in the second trimester, sometimes in the third. In more than a third of children with SCD, first aid is not timely. As a result, the complication is diagnosed at a period of six months to two years of life (according to foreign studies, less often - after two years).
