Abstract
Irregular rotation of the gut disrupts the establishment of the superior mesenteric artery inside the peritoneum during fetal rotation. A rotational abnormality of the midgut is rare in adults. In most cases, surgery is necessary for the treatment of symptoms. In spite of the challenges of diagnosis and surgery, treatment is usually successful when it is done early. The condition of misrotation of the intestine is usually discovered by accident in an adult without any symptoms. A literature review has been conducted on intestinal malrotations and small bowel obstructions.
