Malrotation in Silver-Russell Syndrome: a case report.

Abstract

Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a rare, heterogeneous, genetic disorder; characterize by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, normal occipital-frontal circumference, body asymmetry and distinctive facial features. 90% of parents of children with SRS complain feeding problems but specific gastro-intestinal diseases have not been recognized as major features. We report a 6 years male child with SRS having malrotation of gut; needs surgery.

Keywords
