Bilious Emesis
photo by Janelle Aby, MD
For comparison, this is an example of bilious emesis. The green color of bile is clearly present here. This newborn was thought to be well and was tolerating feedings for several days before the sudden onset of this abnormal emesis. Malrotation with volvulus was diagnosed and the infant underwent emergent surgical correction. Emesis like this is never normal.
