**Scratches head**

The last four pictures are very beautiful, like air bubbles.

Anyway, all jokes aside, I pray that the boy is fine now.

Sorry I’m late. I just saw this.
Easy diagnosis on the plain x-ray & the CT scanogram.
SIGMOID VOLVULUS.
Coffee-bean sign on the plain x-ray & scano.

Thanks vijay! Have more scans to come.

Yes, this child was being investigated for Hirscsprung disease but a week later while waiting for the rectal biopsies, presented with this — SIGMOID VOLVULUS. It was extremely dilated and was pending perforation. We sent the child over to the paediatric institute where all his investigations were ongoing.
