Double reverse intestinal malrotation: a novel rotational anomaly and its surgical correction

J Pediatr Surg. 2007 Mar;42(3):578-81. doi: 10.1016/j.jpedsurg.2006.10.061.

Abstract

Reverse intestinal rotation is the rarest developmental anomaly of intestinal rotation and fixation. We present a case of an adolescent girl with chronic intermittent abdominal pain who was found to have a novel rotational abnormality that we have termed "double reverse intestinal malrotation." The imaging studies, operative findings, and the surgical correction are presented.
