Medical Malpractice

Seeking medical attention for abdominal complaints suspected to be appendicitis, a 7-year-old girl faced dire consequences due to a critical misdiagnosis by her doctors.

The true underlying condition, a cecal volvulus (intestinal twisting), went undetected, resulting in ischemic necrotic bowel (intestinal death) and abdominal compartment syndrome. To address the severity of her condition, surgeons had to perform a colon resection, removing four feet of her colon.

The gravity of this medical error underscores the importance of accurate diagnosis and timely intervention in healthcare.

The case settled before trial.
