A Rare Case Report of Waugh Syndrome in an Eight Months Old Male

The author reports a case of Waugh syndrome in an 8-monthold baby boy. Although Waugh's Syndrome is rare, most of thedocumented cases are in children. Waugh syndrome, first described in 1991 by Georges Waugh, is an intussusception associated with abnormal bowel rotation (Behera, C. R., & Mohanty, S. K. 2014; & Henderson, A. A. et al., 2013). Less than 100 cases have been described so far worldwide. Intussusception is one of the most common causes of bowel obstruction in pediatrics. Although this intussusception is idiopathic in 81% of cases, it can sometimes be secondary to various etiologies such as Meckel's diverticulum, congenital bridles, gastroenteritis, polyposis and intestinal lymphomas. The authors discuss treatment options and discussthe probability of Waugh's Syndrome during any intussusception in children (Behera, C. R., & Mohanty, S. K. 2014).
