Abstract
Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly characterized by rotational errors during the embryonic development of the midgut. Although it is mainly a pediatric diagnosis, some cases do present in adult life. In adults, the condition can present in various ways, with symptoms that may be acute, acute on chronic, chronic, or discovered incidentally. This case series highlights the diverse presentations and management of midgut malrotation in adult patients.
