Late diagnostics of intestinal malformation in a 3 year-old child presenting with Down syndrome
Down syndrome (or trisomy — 21) is a genetically determined pathology frequently characterized by the combination of malformation of various organs and systems. Certain congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract occur in the patients presenting with Down syndrome more frequently than among the general population. The authors present a clinical case of late diagnostics of incomplete malrotation of the intestine that manifested itself as chronic intestinal obstruction in a 3 year-old patient with Down syndrome.
