Bowel-GI - Whirlpool Sign

Caption

A 6-day-old presented with findings suggestive of volvulus. POCUS revealed whirlpool sign, consistent with midgut volvulus. The sign corresponds to a clockwise wrapping of the superior mesenteric vein and the mesentery around the superior mesenteric artery (augmented with color doppler in the image on the right).
