Abstract

Midgut malrotation often leads to the development of intestinal obstruction in adults and is a rare cause. Imaging can be well defined, as well as determining the presence of critical conditions such as intestinal necrosis. Surgery is the only effective method of treatment at present, and early surgery after definitive diagnosis is very important.
