“…When an operation is performed for associated inflammatory disease or other disease concerned with rotational anomalies and it is simply an incidental finding, it is generally wise to treat the immediate problem and leave the anomaly alone. [19][20][21] The nonrotation itself was also left alone in the present case and no problems associated with nonrotation have occurred since the operation.…”

“…2 It is twice as common in women than men. 3 First described in the late 1800s, reversed rotation occurs when the midgut loop erroneously rotates in a clockwise direction. 4 As a result, the duodenum and the transverse colon are reversed in position; the transverse colon lie posterior to the superior mesenteric artery and the duodenum lies anterior.…”

“…The most common causes of obstruction in these patients include volvulus of the free ileocecal segment, obstruction of the transverse colon by the superior mesenteric vessels, and obstruction at the duodenojejunal junction [2,8]. Alternatively, as is evident by numerous case reports, reverse intestinal rotation can also have a delayed presentation, with recurrent subacute intestinal obstruction or intermittent abdominal pain in adolescents or adults who characteristically have a history of feeding difficulties in infancy [2,5,[7][8][9][10][11][12]. Our patient presented in this delayed fashion.…”
