Malrotation - the ubiquitous anomaly

H C Filston, D R Kirks

    Journal of Pediatric Surgery
    |August 1, 1981

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Malrotation of the gastrointestinal tract is frequently linked to other congenital and acquired issues. Recognizing these associations is crucial for preventing severe complications like midgut volvulus.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Developmental Biology

    Background:

    • Gastrointestinal (GI) tract malrotation is often associated with abdominal wall defects and diaphragmatic hernias.
    • The co-occurrence of malrotation with other GI lesions is not sufficiently highlighted.

    Observation:

    • A study of 34 patients revealed that 62% had associated GI lesions.
    • These included upper GI atresias, stenoses, intussusception, and Hirschsprung's disease.

    Findings:

    • Malrotation frequently coexists with diverse congenital and acquired GI abnormalities.
    • Embryologic and anatomic features, clinical presentation, and radiologic findings of malrotation are detailed.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the frequent association of malrotation with other GI anomalies is vital.
