A volvulus is a medical condition where the intestines twist upon themselves. This condition can occur at any age. However, it is more frequent in children and infants. A volvulus can cause a blockage that may cut off blood flow usually due to a congenital anomaly called intestinal malrotation; this can occur in any part of the intestine without this condition present. Intestinal malrotation can make an infant more likely to develop a midgut volvulus, usually occurring in the first few weeks of life. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of midgut volvulus and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in recognizing and managing this condition.
