Midgut volvulus in pregnancy. A case report.
Midgut volvulus in pregnancy is rare. Preoperative diagnosis is difficult and may be complicated by pregnancy, labor and the post-cesarean-section state. In a case of total midgut volvulus after cesarean section, a massive resection of the small bowel was performed.
