Malrotation of rnidgut occurs when the normal rotational process and fixation of intestine fail to take p]ace. The second stage during which midgut loop starts returning to abdomen from urnbilical cord is the rnost frequent period of intestinal malrotation. Malrotation is the most common anomaly in this group. Non-descent of cecum, in which this structure remains in the subhepatic position is the best known example. Most symptomatic anomalies of intestinal malrotation are found in the neonatal period and many remain asymptomatic and are incidentally found either during laparotomy or investigation of unrelated symptoms in adult life. We report a case of intestinal malrotation who has been relatively asymptomatic during his life. His presenting left lower abdominal pain and constipation is far from typical symptoms of intestinal malrotation. Only conservative treatment is needed to relieve his symptoms.
