  • Title: Neonatal sigmoid volvulus: a complication of anal stenosis.
    Author: De Caluwé D, Kelleher J, Corbally MT.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2001 Jul; 36(7):1079-81. PubMed ID: 11431785.
    Abstract:
    Sigmoid volvulus is an exceptionally rare cause of intestinal obstruction in neonates. Only 7 cases have been reported in the English and French literature. The authors report a recent case of sigmoid volvulus in a neonate secondary to anal stenosis and review the diagnosis and management of this serious condition. The authors believe that carefully performed radiologic reduction is the preferable alternative to surgical intervention.
