Abstract

We aim to explore the importance of early differential diagnosis of an organic etiology such as intestinal malrotation and psychiatric disorder.We present a child with an intestinal malrotation, who had no symptoms until she was 4 year old. The child presented with sudden cessation oforal food intake and constipation. The diagnosis was missed at another center, as there were many accompanying psychiatric symptoms. Thechild improved after surgery, and the severity of the psychiatric symptoms decreased. This case emphasizes that an organic disorder can beconfused with a mental disorder. Many patients with intestinal malrotation present with abdominal discomfort since childhood, while otherspresent with relatively sudden onset of symptoms. The clinician should consider all symptoms to avoid missing that important and treatablecondition.

Özet

Bu olguda psikiyatrik bozukluk ve intestinal malrotasyonun erken ayırıcı tanısının önemini vurgulamayı amaçlıyoruz. Dört yaşına kadar herhangi bir semptomu olmayan intestinal malrotasyonu olgusunu sunmaktayız. Ani gelişen oral gıda alımı reddi ve kabızlık ile prezente olan, birçok psikiyatrik semptomun eşlik ettiği bu olguda tanının başka bir merkezde atlandığı gözlendi. Olgu ameliyattan sonra düzeldi ve psikiyatrik semptomların şiddeti azaldı. Bu durum organik bir hastalığın zihinsel bir bozuklukla karıştırılabileceğini vurgulamaktadır. İntestinal malrotasyonu olan birçok hastada çocukluktan beri karında rahatsızlık hissi görülürken, bazen nispeten semptomların ani başlangıcı görülmektedir. Klinisyen, bu önemli ve tedavi edilebilir durumu kaçırmamak için tüm belirtileri göz önünde bulundurmalıdır.
