Most often, Ladd's syndrome clinically manifests within the first month after birth. There are few reports devoted to diagnosis of this syndrome in patients aged 6-10 years. We present 2 children with Ladd's syndrome. The disease manifested at the age of 14 years in both patients. One child was diagnosed before complications that made it possible to carry out successful surgical treatment with subsequent recovery. The second child had necrosis of rotated small bowel. This child died in long-term postoperative period due to short bowel syndrome despite adequate treatment. In some cases, Ladd's syndrome manifests in puberty. Contrast-enhanced X-ray examination of gastrointestinal tract is indicated in children for periodic abdominal pain associated or not associated with vomiting.

Case Report: Neonatal onset intractable diarrhea and hypoproteinemia due to intestinal malrotation and chronic midgut volvulus.
Front Pediatr

Congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs) are a rare heterogeneous group of inherited disorders that typically present with severe chronic diarrhea during the first weeks of life. As a broad range of illnesses can present similarly in infants, establishing a definitive cause for CODEs is challenging. In this report, two infants were suspected to have CODE, with neonatal-onset chronic diarrhea and protein-losing enteropathy finally found to be due to intestinal malrotation and chronic midgut volvulus.

Introduction: Giant inguinoscrotal hernias (GIH), defined as hernias extending below the inner thigh midpoint in a standing position, are rare and often seen in resource-limited settings due to delayed medical care. These hernias pose surgical challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where standardized management protocols are lacking, and risks such as cardiorespiratory compromise are significant.
Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with a large, irreducible right inguinoscrotal hernia of 1.

Introduction: Waugh's syndrome, characterized by the concurrent presence of acute intussusception and gut malrotation, is a rare clinical entity. The relationship between these conditions is not well-explored, and the true incidence may be underreported.
Case Presentation: A 4 month old male infant, with an uneventful medical history, presented to the pediatric emergency department due to irritability and rectal bleeding lasting one day.
Ladd's syndrome is a complex gastrointestinal anomaly that occurs based on congenital intestinal malrotation and leads to midgut volvulus and intestinal obstruction. It is mostly discovered in paediatric patients and presents itself in 90% of cases within the first year of life. It is a rare diagnosis in adult patients.
