Malrotation is an abnormal arrangement of the intestines that can increase the risk of twisting and bowel obstruction.
Symptoms may include vomiting, abdominal pain, bloating, poor feeding, or signs of bowel blockage, especially in babies and children.
Imaging helps show whether the bowel is positioned abnormally and whether there are signs of twisting, blockage, or reduced blood supply.
Fluoroscopy, ultrasound, or CT may help show the bowel position and any signs of volvulus or obstruction.
Management often requires surgical assessment, especially when twisting or compromised blood flow is suspected.
This entry explains the condition. The next step is having a radiologist interpret your specific scan, not a general definition.
