A fluoroscopic upper gastrointestinal series is the most commonly used investigation for the diagnosis of malrotation and midgut volvulus. However, both false positive and false negative results can occur causing diagnostic confusion. Several physiologic states and pathologic conditions can mimic fluoroscopic appearance of malrotation. Proper fluoroscopic technique is essential to maximize diagnostic accuracy. In this pictorial essay, we discuss common diagnostic challenges in the diagnosis of malrotation and strategies radiologists can use to clarify the diagnosis in equivocal cases.

Introduction And Importance: Neonatal appendicitis is a rare condition with high morbidity and mortality due to its late diagnosis in favor of more common pathologies. There are few reported cases of neonatal appendicitis and even fewer of antenatal appendicitis.
Case Presentation: We report a neonate presenting with abdominal distention and gastric emesis in the setting of a suspected congenital abdominal mass, later diagnosed with neonatal appendicitis requiring intestinal resection and anastomosis.
