Intestinal volvulus. Gestational age 28 weeks and 2 days. (a) Coronal SSFSE T2. (b) Axial SSFSE T2. (c) Photograph of surgical specimen. Bichorial biamniotic gestation. One of the twins presents with an intestinal volvulus, along with meconial ileus and meconial peritonitis. The presence of massive ascites (black asterisk) that compress both lungs (empty white arrowhead) is shown. The stomach is dilated (curved white arrowhead). Dilated and volvulated ileal loops (solid white arrow) with distal necrosed clustered loops (solid black arrowhead) are shown. Fetal MRI diagnosed intestinal volvulus not described in fetal ultrasound providing useful information for perinatal management and prognosis over fetal ultrasound.
