Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in the USA. Intestinal malrotation diagnosed in adulthood was, until recently, a very rare phenomenon. While patients may present with intestinal obstruction or abdominal pain, the diagnosis is now often made as an incidental finding by computed tomography (CT). Surprisingly we found only seven case reports of carcinoma of the colon in patients with ...

INTRODUCTION Intestinal malrotation is a condition, which is predominantly recognised in childhood. Because of the relative rarity, there is a possibility that it can be missed in the routine clinical care of adults. This case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for malrotation when things go wrong in routine procedures. This can be the reason for catastrophic sepsis in patients w...

Intramedullary nailing has become the treatment of choice for diaphyseal femur fractures. Malrotation is a well-recognized complication of femoral nailing. Various techniques including the cortical step sign (CSS) have been described to minimize iatrogenic rotational deformity during femoral nailing. We present a case in which the use of the CSS resulted in a clinically significant malrotation ...

Neonates referred from various sources with single or more episodes of bilious vomiting undergo radiological investigation and ultrasound examination to exclude malrotation and volvulus. Although many of these will have a normal study and feed well afterwards or may have other diagnoses, nevertheless, approximately 6 to 8% will need corrective surgery for malrotation [1,2]. Rarely an older chil...

BACKGROUND Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly of the intestinal rotation and fixation, and usually occurs in the neonatal age. OBJECTIVE Description of a clinical case associated with acute occlusive symptoms. CLINICAL CASE A case of intestinal malrotation is presented in a previously asymptomatic woman of 46 years old with an intestinal obstruction, with radiology and surgical ...

Intestinal volvulus without malrotation is a rare disease that causes volvulus of the small intestine despite normal intestinal rotation and fixation. We encountered a neonate with this disease who developed early jaundice and was suspected to have a fetal onset. This patient was characterized by early jaundice complicating intestinal volvulus without malrotation and is considered to have exhib...

Ileal atresia associated with malrotation is rare, but the additional diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) in the same patient has not been described in the literature. This case report presents a newborn with a bowel obstruction requiring surgery for ileal atresia and malrotation. The post-operative course was complicated by a distal bowel obstruction. Evaluation of the resected bowel from...
