[Intrauterine volvulus with complete bowel necrosis and formation of a pseudo-cyst].
The article reports on a male newborn who attained an age of one day only. An intrauterine volvulus resulted in complete necrosis of the ileum with subsequent intrauterine development of a pseudocyst and corresponding structural changes in the abdominal wall. Clinically and on postmortem examination a highly inflated abdomen was particularly remarkable. The diaphragm was displaced upwards to an extremely high degree. The cause may be attributed to a disturbed development of the mesenterium, since other possible causes could be excluded. This case is compared with reports in the literature on this rare phenomenon.
