MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of midgut volvulus in pregnancy. Findings on MRI suggestive of volvulus include whirlpool sign.
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
- MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of midgut volvulus as a complication of intestinal malrotation in children.[1]
- Findings on an MRI suggestive of volvulus include whirlpool sign that denotes twisting of the superior mesenteric vein and mesentery around the superior mesenteric artery.
