Abstract

This case report describes a case of fatal intestinal obstruction in a 4-year-old girl caused by malrotation and internal hernia, which led to distortion and necrosis of the small intestine. Although resuscitation was immediately initiated, multiorgan failure and death occurred within hours of the onset of the first symptoms. Autopsy revealed extensive ischemic changes in the small intestine and a congenital mesocolon defect as the cause of the internal hernia. This case highlights the critical importance of considering internal hernias in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in pediatric patients and emphasizes the need for prompt surgical intervention. Early recognition and treatment are essential to prevent catastrophic consequences in these rare but life-threatening conditions.

内疝是致死性肠梗阻的原因:一名四岁儿童的病例报告。
本病例报告描述了一名4岁女孩因旋转不良和内疝导致小肠扭曲和坏死而致致命性肠梗阻的病例。尽管立即进行了复苏,但在出现最初症状的数小时内就发生了多器官衰竭和死亡。尸检显示小肠广泛的缺血性改变和先天性结肠系膜缺陷是引起内疝的原因。本病例强调了在小儿急腹症患者鉴别诊断中考虑腹内疝的重要性,并强调了及时手术干预的必要性。早期识别和治疗对于预防这些罕见但危及生命的疾病的灾难性后果至关重要。
