Abnormalities in midgut rotation occur during the physiological herniation of the midgut between the 5th and 10th week of gestation. The most significant abnormality is a narrow small bowel mesentery which is prone to volvulus. This occurs most frequently in the neonatal period. Less commonly, midgut malrotation presents in adulthood with either acute volvulus or chronic abdominal symptoms. It ...

Intestinal nonrotation is a subtype of malrotation and it usually detected incidentally in adulthood. Although often asymptomatic, patients with this condition are at increased risk conditions that may require emergency surgery, such as intestinal obstruction necrosis. In relation to our case 52-year-old male patient diagnosed radiological examinations performed for renal colic, the current sta...

A 38-year-old male sought treatment in the emergency room, complaining of abdominal pain and bloating, accompanied by an inability to pass gas or eliminate feces. The patient underwent multidetector computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis, with and without the administration of intravenous iodinated contrast media, which showed significant fluid distension of the stomach and duodenum, wit...

PATIENT Female, 16 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Malrotation and cholecystoduodenal fistula Symptoms: Abdominal pain • anorexia • fever • nausea • vomiting MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Gastroenterology and Hepatology. OBJECTIVE Anatomical anomaly/variation. BACKGROUND Cholecystoduodenal fistula (CDF) is the most common cholecystenteric fistula. It is a late complication of gallbladder...

Intestinal malrotation and situs inversus can have important repercussions if acute abdominal pain develops. Intraabdominal structures can have inverted position and thus may easily mislead the surgeon during physical examination. Fortunately, radiological exams have improved the preoperative diagnosis of these patients. However, in difficult cases when an underlying surgical disease is suspect...

BACKGROUND While appendicitis is the most common abdominal disease requiring surgical intervention seen in the emergency room setting, intestinal malrotation is relatively uncommon. When patients with asymptomatic undiagnosed gastrointestinal malrotation clinically present with abdominal pain, accurate diagnosis and definitive therapy may be delayed, possibly increasing the risk of morbidity an...

We are reporting a baby who presented with features of neonatal intestinal obstruction, with an x-ray picture suggestive of hold up at the duodenal level. On laparotomy he had malrotation of the gut which was corrected. He also had a dilated urinary bladder, which later on was treated with vasicostomy. The baby did not move his bowel inspite of no mechanical obstruction and even bypass procedur...
