Adrenal hemorrhage with incomplete rotation of the colon leading to early duodenal obstruction: case report and review of the literature.
We report the simultaneous occurrence of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage and type IIIB incomplete fixation of the hepatic flexure of the colon producing early complete obstruction of the duodenum.
