Intestinal Malrotation
Symptoms of Intestinal Malrotation
Infants with intestinal malrotation can suddenly develop vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain and swelling due to obstruction and these symptoms can also come and go. If the blood supply to the middle of the intestine is completely cut off because of a volvulus, sudden, severe pain and vomiting develop. Bile, a substance formed in the liver, may be vomited, making the vomit appear green. Eventually, the abdomen swells.
