Overview
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for volvulus. However, there are screening programs in place that utilize an ultrasound to seek out intestinal malrotation, which may be a cause of fatal midgut volvulus.
Screening
There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for volvulus. However, there are screening programs in place for intestinal malrotation which may be a cause of fatal migdut volvulus.[1]
- Ultrasound is an effective screening tool in ruling out those children who may be at risk of intestinal malrotation - associated volvulus.
