Q. What can be done for midgut malrotation in a newborn?
Hello doctor,
My 24 days newborn son is suffering from midgut malrotation. Is this a problem?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Abnormal relationship of the vessels can cause intestinal obstruction or volvulus. It may be asymptomatic as well. If it is symptomatic in the form of pain that is related to malrotation, then this baby may need corrective surgery. You should show to a pediatric surgeon.
Thank you doctor,
Will this cause problem in future?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It may or may not cause problem in the future. Some of the patients may remain asymptomatic, and a minority of these develop symptoms. We cannot predict about the particular patient. You keep close follow up with your physician or surgeon.
