RESUMO
The authors report an unusual case of a neonate who presented with volvulus of the midgut malrotation, diagnosed in utero by ultrasound at 35 weeks and five days of gestation. Signs of fetal distress with mid polyhydramnios in the last week were deleted and cesarean section followed upon the presence of slow fetal movements. A laparotomy was performed in the neonate which showed a midgut volvulus, and thus underwent a 20 cm resection and anastomosis of a gangrenous intestine. Our case constitutes a clinical rarity as compared to other cases previously reported in the literature as he was diagnosed in uterus via ultrasound, and being a healthy and well developed child
