  • Title: Malrotation of the intestine and chronic volvulus as a cause of protein-losing enteropathy in infancy.
    Author: Zellos A, Zarganis D, Ypsiladis S, Chatzis D, Papaioannou G, Bartsocas C.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 2012 Feb; 129(2):e515-8. PubMed ID: 22271689.
    Abstract:
    Protein-losing enteropathy in children is caused by intestinal metabolic, inflammatory, or infectious processes, or by lymphatic obstruction (intestinal lymphangiectasia). In this report, a 17-month-old child is presented with protein-losing enteropathy due to intestinal malrotation and chronic midgut volvulus causing lymphatic obstruction and spillage of lymph in the intestine and the peritoneum. This report should alert the pediatrician that intestinal malrotation should be added to the wide list of possible causes of protein-losing enteropathy in children.
