Waugh's syndrome (WS) is the rare association of intussusception and intestinal malrotation. We present two such cases in a 5-month-old infant and a 9-year-old girl. Both patients presented with intussusception and were diagnosed with malrotation during workup and surgical exploration. We conclude that the possibility of intestinal malrotation must be taken into consideration while managing children with intussusception.
沃氏综合征(WS)是肠套叠与肠旋转不良的罕见关联。我们报告了一名5个月大婴儿和一名9岁女孩的两例此类病例。两名患者均表现为肠套叠,在检查和手术探查过程中被诊断为肠旋转不良。我们得出结论,在处理患有肠套叠的儿童时,必须考虑到肠旋转不良的可能性。
