Secretory diarrhea can be seen in a variety of pathologic states; however, intermittent colonic obstruction usually is not considered as a possible cause. We report a 68-yr-old patient with chronic secretory diarrhea and hypokalemia due to intermittent sigmoid volvulus. Because the volvulus was not
The case of an 18-year-old man with sigmoid volvulus and recurrent abdominal pain is presented. He was seen in the emergency department three times in a 4-month period, each time complaining of cramping left lower quadrant pain of one to two hours duration without vomiting or diarrhea. Physical
BACKGROUND
Many different and non-specific clinic presentation modes of malrotation anomalies (MA) have been reported after neonatal period. The authors describe four children with MA presented with malabsorption-like clinical features.
METHODS
Three children aged from 8 months to 7 years, with a
A prospective study evaluating the prognostic value of surgical and postoperative findings in 80 cattle with abomasal volvulus was performed. Surgical correction of abomasal volvulus was performed in all animals. After surgery, cattle were categorized into 3 groups: productive (acceptable milk
A 44-year-old man had been suffering from nausea, vomiting and watery diarrhea for 5 days and was then admitted to Dankook University Hospital. He had suffered from several episodes of mild symptoms, including abdominal distension, loss of appetite, easy satiety, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
This report describes two cases of intrauterine volvulus without associated intestinal malrotation. Polyhydramnios was present in one neonate; the presentation was very sudden and catastrophic in the other. Neither plain films nor contrast enema indicated the correct preoperative diagnosis in these
Intestinal malrotation is a congenital disorder that results from the failure of normal bowel rotation and fixation during the 5th gestational week. The incidence of intestinal malrotation is <0.2%, but prompt diagnosis is important because this anomaly can cause midgut volvulus and lead to
The subject of malrotation and midgut volvulus in infancy and childhood is reviewed from the perspective of experience with 138 patients evaluated in a published series and a further 82 cases seen since. Embryology, historical aspects, clinical presentation, investigation, surgery, and outcome are
A 59 year old man presented with subacute abdominal distension and diarrhea. Plain radiographs and barium enema demonstrated organo-axial volvulus of the sigmoid colon. The radiologic, surgical, and pathologic findings are presented. The radiologic differences between organo-axial volvulus and the
Lactococcus lactis is a gram-positive, facultative anaerobic coccus that is occasionally isolated from human mucocutaneous surfaces such as the intestines. It is used in the dairy industry for milk acidification and is mostly nonpathogenic in immunocompetent humans, however a number of cases of
Congenital chloride diarrhea (CCD) is a rare disease, manifesting with secretory diarrhea and life-threatening electrolyte imbalance during infancy. The early diagnosis of CCD is therefore necessary for the adequate treatment. The long-term prognosis of properly managed CCD is favorable. We present
BACKGROUND
Intestinal obstruction in pregnancy is not common. Colonic volvulus occurs in 24% of such cases. Due to the rare incidence and lack of imaging during pregnancy, correct diagnosis is often delayed.
METHODS
We present a case of a 33-year-old female with a twin pregnancy gestation, who
