Abstract
|
|
|
Intestinal malrotation is a developmental anomaly resulting from embryologic failure of fixation and rotation of the gut and predisposed to midgut volvulus and small bowel obstruction. Acute midgut volvulus is most often encountered in the
newborn period. But older children and adults may have a history of intermittent episodes of partial volvulus presenting with recurrent colicky abdominal pain accompanying bilious vomiting. We experienced a case of intestinal malrotation complicated by midgut volvulus presented with recurrent vomiting and abdominal pain in a 6-year-old boy.
