A case of intrauterine intestinal
volvulus
without malrotation is presented, and 9 other cases from the world literature are reviewed.
Bloody diarrhea
, bluish discoloration of the abdominal wall (Cullen's sign), and a tense abdomen in neonates suggest midgut
volvulus
requiring prompt surgical management. On pathological examination, the neck of the twisted bowel in this case showed a half-circle defect of the intestinal muscle. This suggests that a segmental defect of the intestinal musculature could be secondary to
volvulus
.

A case history of a fatal neonatal infection caused by Salmonella enteritidis group D is reported. The baby deteriorated rapidly at 24 hours after birth with clinical signs and symptoms of an acute abdomen.
Bloody diarrhea
led to a tentative diagnosis of midgut
volvulus
or necrotizing enterocolitis. Autopsy and bacteriologic investigation revealed sepsis by S. enteritidis group D. The same organism was found in cultures taken from stool and vaginal swabs from the mother. This clearly confirmed transmission of the infection during delivery.
