- Abstract
Midgut volvulus is defined as twisting of the small bowel loops or the proximal part of the colon around the superior mesenteric artery. Color Doppler can play a valuable role in the diagnosis of midgut volvulus when the involved bowel cannot be dilated or if air in the bowel negatively impacts the resolution of the twisted bowel loops. In conclusion, our case represents the earliest diagnosis of fetal midgut volvulus manifested by twisting of dilated bowel loops around the superior mesenteric artery and without associated abnormality predisposing to volvulus development.
