Abstract
A 2.5 year old dysmorphic child with severe gastro-oesophageal reflux was admitted for elective fundoplication. Three days postoperatively, she developed progressive signs of intestinal obstruction. The diagnosis of caecal volvulus was suggested on the plain radiographic appearance, confirmed at laparotomy and treated by right hemicolectomy. The predisposing factors, diagnosis and approach to surgical management are discussed.Entities:
