Intestinal malrotation beyond the neonatal period.

Of 162 children with intestinal malrotation treated during a 13-year period, only 20 were first seen and treated outside the neonatal period. These presented with symptoms that were largely non-specific and there was a delay between the initial consultation and the making of the correct diagnosis of up to 5-years. The clinical features, radiologic findings and management are discussed, the importance of the history and radiographic findings stressed.
