Midgutmalrotation refers to twisting of the entire midgut about the axis of the superior mesenteric artery. Malrotation occurs in approximately 1 in 500 live births. However, the true incidence of malrotation is unknown, since many asymptomatic patients fail to present. Approximately 90% of patients with malrotation are diagnosed within the first year of life, 80% of whom are diagnosed within ...

provided the original work is properly cited. CC Intestinal malrotation is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain and normally presents during infancy. Approximately 90% of patients with malrotation are diagnosed within the first year of life, 80% of whom are diagnosed within the first month of life [1]. Intestinal malrotation complicated by midgut volvulus, a well recognized disease entity in inf...

Congenital intestinal malrotation is mainly detected in childhood and caused by incomplete rotation and fixation of the intestines providing the prerequisites for life-threatening volvulus of the midgut. The objective of this study was to evaluate a large cohort of adult patients with intestinal malrotation. Thirty-nine patients, 15-67 years, were diagnosed and admitted to a university setting ...

Midgut malrotation is a congenital anomaly referring to either lack of or incomplete rotation of the fetal intestines around the axis of the superior mesenteric artery during fetal development. It is rare in adulthood and the true incidence is difficult to estimate because most patients are asymptomatic. The diagnosis is usually performed with several radiological and surgical methods. We repor...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this work was to study the various presentations of malrotation and management in patients older than 1 year. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of patients operated on over the last 6 years who were older than 1 year with a diagnosis of intestinal malrotation were evaluated retrospectively. Data about age at presentation, sex, presenting symptoms, time to diagnosis, r...
