Malformations of the structure and fixation of the small intestine mesentery in nenates constitute essential morphologic predisposing factors for the occurrence of an "isolated" volvulus and are responsible for clinico-radiological peculiarities of the pathology. The children, operated upon for "isolated" small intestine volvulus, who had shown this pathology, should be under a prolonged medical supervision.
