Monozygotic twins with discordant intestinal rotation.

Vance L Smith1, Frederick Long, Benedict C Nwomeh.   

Abstract

Previous case reports have suggested a strong concordance of intestinal malrotation among identical twins. This has led to the recommendation that the asymptomatic twin undergo screening when malrotation is discovered in the identical sibling. We present a case of monozygotic twins in which one twin presented with intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus while the other twin was found to have normal gastrointestinal anatomy.
