| Abstract: | Midgut malrotation occurs due to variations of rotation and fixation of the intestine during fetal development. Over 90% of cases present during the neonatal period [1]. The reported incidence of adult midgut malrotation is between 0.0001% and 0.2% [1, 2]. Adults with intestinal malrotation present with atypical symptoms [1] requiring a high degree of clinical suspicion in diagnosis. |
