Résumé
Intestinal Malrotation is congenital that complicates 1 in every 200 births. It results from abnormal fixation and rotation of the gut tube during fetal development. It is usually asymptomatic and most cases are diagnosed during childhood and the condition is seldom seen in adults. Also, it can present as an incidental finding in imaging or patients undergoing laparotomy for other reasons. Midgut Volvulus can lead to small obstruction it warrants surgical intervention. Our case is a 20 years old black African male from Khartoum (Sudan) who presented to the emergency department with features of intestinal obstruction he was resuscitated and underwent a CT scan of the abdomen that showed malrotation of the intestine with volvulus for which he underwent a Ladd procedure. Small bowel obstruction due to volvulus complicating malrotation is a rare presentation in adulthood and the Ladd procedure can be utilized to manage such case.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Intestinal Malrotation is congenital that complicates 1 in every 200 births. It results from abnormal fixation and rotation of the gut tube during fetal development. It is usually asymptomatic and most cases are diagnosed during childhood and the condition is seldom seen in adults. Also, it can present as an incidental finding in imaging or patients undergoing laparotomy for other reasons. Midgut Volvulus can lead to small obstruction it warrants surgical intervention.
CASE PRESENTATION
METHODS
Our case is a 20 years old black African male from Khartoum (Sudan) who presented to the emergency department with features of intestinal obstruction he was resuscitated and underwent a CT scan of the abdomen that showed malrotation of the intestine with volvulus for which he underwent a Ladd procedure.
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Small bowel obstruction due to volvulus complicating malrotation is a rare presentation in adulthood and the Ladd procedure can be utilized to manage such case.
