Two cases of acute intestinal obstruction in adults caused by a nonrotation anomaly of the bowel are presented. Both of the patients had suffered since chilhood from chronic, recurrent but rather mild abdominal symptoms which subsided spontaneously. In both cases volvulus of the cecum caused the acute abdominal condition, necessitating emergency operation. The nonrotation anomaly was an unsuspected discovery at laparotomy. The possibility of this type of congenital anomaly should be kept in mind whenever a patient has chronic recurrent abdominal symptoms or an acute abdominal condition.
本文报告两例成人急性肠梗阻病例，病因是肠道旋转异常。两名患者自幼便患有慢性复发性但症状相对较轻的腹部症状，这些症状会自行缓解。两例均为盲肠扭转导致急性腹部疾病，需要进行紧急手术。肠道旋转异常是在剖腹手术中意外发现的。每当患者出现慢性复发性腹部症状或急性腹部疾病时，都应考虑到这种先天性异常的可能性。
