At just 16 days old, this newborn is in the earliest stage of neonatal life, barely over two weeks since birth. Despite her tiny size, this brave little fighter faced a critical medical challenge with remarkable strength.
Diagnosed with life-threatening Upper Gastrointestinal Obstruction probably secondary to Intestinal malrotation, the infant underwent an exploratory laparotomy to assess the abdominal organs, followed by a Laddβs procedure to correct the abnormal positioning of the intestines and prevent future volvulus.
An appendectomy was also performed to eliminate potential diagnostic confusion later in life.
