Unusual Presentations of Midgut Volvulus With the Whirlpool Sign

Abstract

Midgut volvulus can also appear much beyond the neonatal age group with a variety of clinical presentations, making the clinical diagnosis in such patients very difficult, if not impossible. Identification of the clockwise whirlpool sign on sonography is an accurate way of diagnosing this condition, which can preclude the need for further investigations and can allow prompt surgical intervention.
