Intrauterine volvulus that had been misunderstood as an antenatal mesenteric cyst

A 29-year-old mother gave birth to a full-term boy. He was hospitalized in our clinic due to suckling difficulty, bilious vomiting, and a mesenteric cyst diagnosed via antenatal ultrasonography at the 12th week of intrauterine life. In the prenatal period, there was no history of polyhydramnios or fetal distress. His first physical examination and all the laboratory tests were normal. The appearance of a hyperechoic cystic mass that measured 46  × 41 mm in size with a thick wall, and fluid level in its lumen on abdominal ultrasonography, was compatible with a mesenteric cyst.
