Difficulty in prenatal diagnosis of the volvulus of the small intestine: A peculiar clinical course of two cases with massive bowel dilatation and loss of peristalsis.

We report two cases of fetal intestinal volvulus (jejunum in case A, ileum in case B) with massive bowel dilatation and loss of peristalsis, which suddenly appeared in the third trimester. The bowel was dilated to different sizes and there were various echogenic patterns of the intestines in case A and a sausage-like appearance in case B. Case A developed polyhydramnios, whereas case B did not.
