Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) can occur as a consequence of neuropathies including diffuse Intestinal Neuronal Dysplasia (IND), a relatively rare enteric nervous system (ENS) abnormality. Although various authors reported of diffuse IND associated either with intestinal malrotation or megacystis, the co-existence of these three entities in the same patient has never been described before. The aim of this paper is to report for the first time in literature a series of patient with such association, focusing on one who carries a de novo duplication of chromosome 12, suggesting a new syndromic association (megacolon, megacystis, malrotation).
