Intestinal malrotation is a congenital abnormal fixation of the bowel that predisposes to life threatening midgut volvulus. Most events of midgut volvulus occur in the first month of life with decreased risk with age. ⋯ For optimal results, the study should be well planned with meticulous attention to technique. In equivocal cases, small bowel follow-through study and ultrasound can be performed.
