Adult intestinal malrotation presenting as recurrent vomiting: a case report.

Ravikumar R Jadhav1, Vishwas D Pai1.   

Abstract

Gut malrotation is a congenital anomaly characterized by either lack of rotation or incomplete rotation of gut around axis of superior mesenteric artery. Most patients present within first year of life. Presentation during adult life is considered rare. Diagnosis of intestinal malrotation during adult life is most often by chance rather than by clinical acumen. Once diagnosed, treatment is based on the general principles of management of intestinal obstruction. We are presenting one such case in which CECT abdomen done to look for the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis leads us to the identification of intestinal malrotation.
