Abstract
Intestinal malrotation presenting with abdominal problems are not common beyond the neonatal period. An adolescent or adult harboring this anomaly may suffer from delay in diagnosis and inappropriate treatment including surgery. We report three patients, aged 17, 31 and 50 years, with intestinal malrotation presenting as an appendicular problem (2) and chronic abdominal pain (1). The former mode of presentation has not been reported so far.Entities:
