Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Waugh's syndrome (WS) is the association of intussusception and intestinal malrotation. The association has not been widely reported in the literature. In the only prospective study, Brereton et al. reported a high frequency of the association, which suggests non-random association. Six patients with this association presented to our unit over a 4-month period. The clinical findings and management are presented and discussed. We suggest that malrotation by its very nature is associated with a mobile right colon, which may be a prerequisite for intussusception. |
