Abstract
Computed tomography (CT) appearances of small bowel malrotation and midgut volvulus (MGV) have rarely been described in paediatric patients. We present spiral CT images of a surgically proven case in a young infant. The literature on imaging techniques to diagnose these conditions is reviewed. Radiation doses of upper gastrointestinal series (UGI) and spiral CT are estimated and compared.Entities:
