Abstract
A 4-month-old girl was admitted to the Emergency Department with gastric vomiting and bloody diarrhea. On physical examination, the abdomen was distended, painful, with evidence of peritoneal irritation. The abdominal X-ray showed the presence of intraluminal gas in the ascending colon, sigmoid and rectum.
