Abstract EN
Background.
The diagnosis of intestinal malrotation is established by the age of 1 year in most cases, and the condition is seldom seen in adults.
In this paper, a patient with small intestinal malrotation-type intraperitoneal hernia who underwent surgery at an older age because of intestinal obstruction is presented.
Case.
A 73-year-old patient who presented with acute intestinal obstruction underwent surgery as treatment.
Distended jejunum and ileum loops surrounded by a peritoneal sac and located between the stomach and transverse colon were determined.
The terminal ileum had entered into the transverse mesocolon from the right lower part, resulting in kinking and subsequent segmentary obstruction.
The obstruction was relieved, and the small intestines were placed into their normal position in the abdominal cavity.
Conclusion.
Small intestinal malrotations are rare causes of intestinal obstructions in adults.
The appropriate treatment in these patients is placement of the intestines in their normal positions.
