Abstract
Intestinal malrotation refers to the incomplete rotation of the primitive intestine around the vitelline sac or superior mesenteric artery. It is frequently found on the first days of extrauterine life or in adult life, as an incidental finding or with obstructive symptoms. We present a case of intestinal obstruction due to intestinal malrotation in a male adult, who underwent urgent surgical abdominal exploration.
