Abstract
Abstract
Midgut volvulus secondary to intestinal malrotation usually presents within the first month of life, typically with persistent bilious vomiting1. Diagnostic delay may result in midgut infarction and death. Malrotation may, however, remain quiescent during early childhood and present later in life. Over a 15-year interval, seven patients presented with midgut volvulus well beyond infancy. These cases illustrate important features in presentation which may not be familiar to general surgeons in district general hospitals who may have to deal with this problem.
