    I hate to belabor this point, but regarding Volvulus, on page 195 of the study book it states: “If given the option, confirm the diagnosis with a BARIUM ENEMA over an upper GI series because it can lead to aspiration!”

    However, in the answer to a question from the ABP 2012 PREP Self Assessment (NUMBER 106), they state: “UGI should be obtained when the infant’s predominant symptom is bilious vomiting because  a midgut volvulus may be catastrophic, and early surgical intervention is essential.”  They also state: “The most appropriate imaging to assess an infant who has bilious emesis and an abdominal radiograph suggesting a proximal bowel obstruction, is an UGI.”

    Not trying to nitpick (I promise!) — just wanted to be sure I should still go with BE over an UGI if given the option…

    Thanks so much!!!
