What is Intestinal Malrotation?
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
- Face is persistently pale
- Blood in stool
- Nausea or vomiting after eating
- Abdominal bloating
- Unable to pass urine for 12 hours or more
- Nausea or vomiting
- Stomach or abdominal pain that worsens after meals
Diagnostic Questions for Intestinal Malrotation
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Did your face briefly turn pale?
- Is your face always pale?
- Have you noticed any blood in your stool?
- Do you experience nausea or vomiting after eating?
- Are you experiencing abdominal bloating?
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.
