Waugh's Syndrome.
A case of Waugh's Syndrome, association of malrotation and intussusception, is being reported. It is suggested that this possibility must be kept in mind and looked for, when a case of intussusception is being treated either by surgery or by hydrostatic reduction. If not when the child develops intestinal problems like obstruction, secondary to malrotation, in the post operative period, it could be misdiagnosed as recurrent intussusception.
