By Cantamessa M, Baire A, Mauri G and 4 others.
Abstract
Background
Intestinal malrotation is a rare congenital anomaly resulting from the incomplete rotation of the midgut. While commonly diagnosed in newborns, adult presentation is extremely rare (0.2-0.5%), making its true incidence unknown. This case report describes a rare adult-onset midgut volvulus successfully managed via a minimally invasive approach.
