Abstract:
Management of a patient with a congenital anomaly of the midgut can be difficult for a surgeon since these abnormalities are extremely rare particularly in adults. However a thorough knowledge of embryology and anatomy will allow the complexity of a rotational anomaly to be resolved. A case of reversed rotation of the midgut is presented and the literature on this subject reviewed.
