Abstract
Malrotation is an abnormality of the relative positioning and fixation of organs in the abdomen. It creates the potential for midgut volvulus, a twisting of the intestines which can result in obstruction, ischemia, and catastrophic loss. Volvulus can present at any age, is marked by bilious vomiting, and requires immediate detection and correction.
