Colocolic intussusception in a preterm infant with intestinal malrotation.
The association of intussusception and intestinal malrotation is referred to as Waugh syndrome. A prospective study among 49 children with intussusception found a 40% incidence of malrotation. We describe the rare occurrence of colocolic intussusception in a neonate with malrotated intestine. We believe this is the first reported case in the neonatal period where the pathogenic lead point was an intestinal lymphangioma.
