We present a case of a delayed diagnosis of a very common surgical condition, appendicitis. A 92-year-old gentleman presented with a 3 day history of generalized abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and weakness.[atlasofscience.org]
The frequency of midgut volvulus among infants presenting in the neonatal period ranges from 45% to 80%.[annsaudimed.net]

Approximately 8% of infants with Downsyndrome have duodenal atresia. [3] Diagnosis [ edit ] The diagnosis of duodenal atresia is usually confirmed by radiography .[en.wikipedia.org]
About 20% of patients with Hirschsprung disease have another congenital anomaly, and about 12% have a genetic abnormality ( Downsyndrome is the most common).[msdmanuals.com]
One of them had associated Downsyndrome and another had horseshoe kidney. In all cases, CDW was observed in the second part of the duodenum beyond the ampulla, causing partial duodenal obstruction.[thieme-connect.com]
It is associated with a number of other conditions but especially Down'ssyndrome. See separate Hirschsprung's Disease article.[patient.info]
In view of the enlargeduterus and the need for retroperitoneal dissection to correct an anatomically anomalous lesion with uncertain vascularity, the surgical opinion was to try nonoperative management first.[degruyter.com]

Persistent symptoms after symptomatic treatment should raise the alarm. Plain abdominal X-ray and US-scans must be used in cases of doubt.[academic.oup.com]
Prognosis Survival is primarily dependent on gestation at delivery and the presence of other anomalies.[sonoworld.com]
This classification generally guides prognosis and therapy (see the image below). Classification of jejunoileal atresias.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis Survival in MMIHS seems to have improved, thanks to more specialized care, innovations in parenteral nutrition, and introduction of multivisceral transplantation.[orpha.net]
These types of anomalies require a multidisciplinary approach in order to establish a prognosis and plan the perinatal management.[redalyc.org]

Risk factors — Factors that increase the risk for the most common etiologies of small bowel obstruction are given in the table ( table 1 ). (See 'Specific etiologies' below.)[uptodate.com]
Etiology Duodenal atresia is a sporadic abnormality, although, in some cases, there is an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.[sonoworld.com]
Etiology Multiple theories regarding the etiology of jejunoileal atresia have been studied in many animal models (eg, puppies, ewes, rabbits, and chick embryos). [22, 23, 24, 25, 26] Murine studies suggest that some forms of atresia may be hereditary[emedicine.medscape.com]
DISCUSSION Malrotation remains the most common etiology of volvulus in neonates, though a rare cause in adults. It is due to an error in embryologic gut development.[academic.oup.com]

Epidemiology In the United States, for example, asymptomatic GI malrotation occurs with an incidence somewhere between 1 in 200 to 1 in 500.[news-medical.net]
Summary Epidemiology MMIHS prevalence is unknown but the disease has been reported in 230 patients, of which 71% are females. Clinical description Enlarged and nonobstructed bladder is the first manifestation of MMIHS and can be detected prenatally.[orpha.net]

Pathophysiology In the scenario of little or no rotation, the duodenum does not completely rotate and cross posterior to the SMA to allow creation of a normal ligament of Treitz on the left side of the abdomen.[online.epocrates.com]
Risk factors for the development of a volvulus References: [2] [3] [4] [5] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] Pathophysiology Sigmoid volvulus Initial resuscitation : IV fluids ; acid-base and electrolyte imbalance correction ; n il per oral ; placement of a nasogastric[amboss.com]
Pathophysiology GI malrotation, has been recently suggested to result from genetic mutations. The gene implicated is the fork head transcription factor (FOXF1) gene.[news-medical.net]
Pathophysiology Malrotation refers to impaired rotational process of the midgut as it returns from outside of the abdominal cavity (extracoelomic phase of development) to the abdominal cavity.[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
Prevention There are no current guidelines to prevent volvulus.[azkrmc.com]
Children may be started on IV (intravenous) fluids to prevent dehydration and antibiotics to prevent infection.[stanfordchildrens.org]
Also vital are maintenance of body temperature, prevention of hypoglycemia with IV 10% dextrose and electrolytes, and prevention or treatment of acidosis and infections so that the infant is in optimal condition for surgery.[merckmanuals.com]
The child may also be given intravenous (IV) fluids to help prevent dehydration and antibiotics to prevent infection.[kidshealth.org]
