title: [Is intestinal malrotation the cause of intussusception? Waugh's syndrome, a case report].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Waugh's syndrome is the combination of intussusception and intestinal malrotation. The first case was described in 1911, with few cases being reported since then.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 7 month-old infant with fever, vomiting and rectal bleeding. Distension and an abdominal mass was found on examination. An exploratory laparotomy was preformed that found a combination of intussusception and intestinal malrotation, which was treated succesfully.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We consider that this combination is not sufficiently diagnosed very often, leading to its disappearance.
