ABSTRACT
Urgent investigation is crucial for infants with bilious vomiting, potentially indicating bowel obstruction. Upper gastrointestinal fluoroscopy aids diagnosis, but is not without its challenges. This case report describes a rare case of neonatal intestinal malrotation and mid-gut volvulus with an additional complication of congenital peritoneal encapsulation. Contribution This case study offers insights into associated diagnostic challenges and underscores the value of utilising fluoroscopy in diagnosing complex gastrointestinal conditions.
