AB  - Malrotation  is  a  term  used  to  describe  a  spectrum  of  anatomic  abnormalities  resulting  from  incomplete  rotation  and  fixation  of  the  intestine  during  early  fetal  development.  Variants  include  incomplete,  nonrotation,  or  reversed  rotation.  Midgut  volvulus  is  a  devastating  consequence  of  the  lack  of  bowel  fixation  that  results  in  ischemic  infarction  of  much  of  the  small  and  large  intestine,  with  short  gut  syndrome  ensuing  if  volvulus  is  not  recognized  and  treated  emergently.
