We report a case of catastrophic neonatal midgut volvulus in which second-look laparotomy revealed apparently non-viable remnant small intestine but with a moderate blood supply. Full-thickness small intestine necrosis was distributed in a patchy fashion, with non-viable and necrotic areas distributed so widely that no portion of the intestine could be resected. A section of full-thickness necrotic intestine preserved at surgery was able to regenerate, and normal function was restored over a period of 1 month. This case indicated that intestinal resumption may be dependent on blood flow. Even when intestinal viability is questionable, preservation enables the chance of regeneration if moderate blood flow is present.}, pages = {375--380}, title = {FULL-THICKNESS SMALL INTESTINE NECROSIS WITH MIDGUT VOLVULUS, DISTRIBUTED IN A PATCHY FASHION, IS REVERSIBLE WITH MODERATE BLOOD FLOW : RESUMPTION OF NORMAL FUNCTION TO NON-VIABLE INTESTINE}, volume = {76}, year = {2014} }
