A case of isolated malrotation without midgut volvulus diagnosed prenatally and treated by laparoscopic surgery
This case illustrates that malrotation can be prenatally diagnosed using fetal magnetic resonance imaging. Considering the risk of midgut volvulus, prophylactic Ladd's procedure should be performed in neonatal period. In cases where malrotation is not complicated by midgut volvulus, a laparoscopic Ladd procedure can be safely performed in neonates.
