@MrsG77004548 Although rare, malrotation and volvulus can definitely happen in all ages! How is she feeling now? If your gut is telling you need to have her checked out, listen to it. When a child is vomiting bile it's not worth the risk of waiting.

Most parents don't know what "bilious vomit" means, Drs should ASK SPECIFICALLY if a parent has ever seen green or yellow in their child's spit up or vomit #intestinalmalrotation #volvulus #intestinalobstruction #pediatrics https://t.co/WvVtuxRQBg

@sftydc @chungk1031 @tomwhalen if it’s yellow call the (#pedsurg) fellow

[MalrotationFoundation @MalroFoundation]

@ffolliet @bnwomeh @sftydc @chungk1031 @tomwhalen We urge you not to write off yellow! A large number of our babies are described as "bright yellow". We've attached some photos for you to see, both were malro/volvulus. If a parent or pedi is concerned about yellow it warrants further investigation. #brightyelloworgreenmustbeseen

@binibiningnera "Spitters" is one way to think about it 😂

[Christian de Virgilio MD FACS @drdevirgilio]

Bilious vomiting in an infant should raise suspicion for midgut volvulus, but symptoms of malrotation (the underlying cause) can rarely present later, as an adult @Jasosamd @WorldJSurg @mcwhmd #MedStudentTwitter @SAGES_Updates @Mike_TruittMD

Banana chocolate chip pancakes AND a bit of light reading on malrotation/volvulus? Sounds like an A+ day.

Abdominal distention is one of the significant signs of Intestinal Malrotation. Even when Charlie was a baby/toddler he had a pot belly which we never thought would be significant.

[MalrotationFoundation @MalroFoundation]

@PedsID4Life @kari_jerge We've heard similar cases from many. How old was she? Incidence of bilious emesis often decreases with age even in cases with volvulus (though we know a few newborns with volvulus who didn't have bilious emesis either).

Peds GI Board pearls: Malrotation with volvulus: absence of ligament of treitz.
-Vignette clue: Usually present in first month of life!
-Vignette clue: Bilious emesis in neonate

[Sree Natesan, MD (she/her) @sreeja_natesan]

#EMReviewRedefined with .@ohioacep in Beautiful San Diego.

Peds GI Board pearls: Malrotation clue on imaging: double bubble sign! Or dilated stomach and proximal duodenum.

Upper GI will show dilated stomach and prox duodenum with minimal contrast past that point!
