An intestinal malrotation is an abnormality that can occur early in pregnancy when a baby's intestines don't form into a coil in the abdomen. Malrotation means that the intestines (or bowel) are twisting, which can cause blockage.
Typical Symptoms of Intestinal Malrotation
- Face turned pale transiently
- Blood in stool
- Face is persistently pale
- Nausea or vomiting after eating
- Abdominal pain that worsens after meals
- Green, bitter vomit
- Nausea or vomiting
- Stomach feels bloated
Diagnostic Questions for Intestinal Malrotation
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Did your face briefly turn pale?
- Do you have blood in your stool?
- Is your face always pale?
- Do you feel nauseous or throw up right after eating?
- Does eating make your stomach pain worse?
Treatment of Intestinal Malrotation
Treating significant malrotation requires surgery. If the child has bowel obstruction and needs to be hospitalized, a nasogastric tube may be inserted in the nose to remove stomach contacts. The child may also be given intravenous (IV) fluids to prevent dehydration as well as antibiotics to prevent infection.
