We present an interesting case of congenital malrotation that was not discovered until adulthood. The patient presented with chronic, non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms which were subsequently alleviated with surgical correction of the congenital malrotation. Malrotation is less often considered in the adult patient and the associated presentation and imaging abnormalities of this case offer a valuable opportunity for thought and brief review.
我们报告了一例直到成年才被发现的先天性肠旋转不良的有趣病例。该患者表现为慢性非特异性胃肠道症状,随后通过先天性肠旋转不良的手术矫正症状得到缓解。成年患者中较少考虑肠旋转不良,而该病例的相关表现及影像学异常为思考和简要回顾提供了宝贵机会。
