Journal of clinical gastroenterology·2000

Congenital intestinal malrotation is often found incidentally in adults. This case highlights imaging findings in the oldest reported patient experiencing intermittent small bowel volvulus.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Congenital anomalies of intestinal rotation are typically asymptomatic incidental findings in adults.
  • Symptomatic presentation can arise from intermittent small bowel volvulus.

Observation:

  • This report details a rare case of intestinal malrotation in an elderly patient.
  • The patient presented with symptoms suggestive of intermittent small bowel volvulus.

Findings:

  • Classic fluoroscopic findings consistent with intestinal malrotation were observed.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed characteristic anatomical abnormalities.
  • Angiographic imaging provided further details on vascular supply and potential compromise.

Implications:

  • This case expands the known age range for symptomatic intestinal malrotation.
  • Highlights the importance of recognizing imaging findings in older adults.
  • Suggests that intermittent volvulus remains a significant complication regardless of age.
