title: [Volvulus of the small intestine. Contribution of abdominal echography to early diagnosis].
abstract: We report six cases of small intestine volvulus associated to malrotation, out of a whole of 11 volvulus managed by us in the last six years. None of them were diagnosed with the only help of clinical and conventional radiological explorations. In the other three cases the diagnosis was made through ultrasounds explorations: It showed the mesenteric vein on the left side of the mesenteric artery. Confirmation and resolution of the cases were reached with a laparotomy.
