Abstract

Intestinal malrotation has been recognized as a cause of obstruction in infants and children and may be complicated by intestinal ischemia; it is very rare in adults. It is a congenital anomaly of foetal intestinal rotation and it is mostly discovered in early childhood as acute intestinal obstruction. The situs inversus abdominus is a rare entity but not pathological, and it is exceptionally associated with intestinal malrotation. The Ladd’s Band extends from the underside of the liver to the cecum, dangerously bringing the proximal jejunum and terminal ileum together which can cause twisting around the mesenteric vascular axis. We present a case of situs inversus abdominus and intestinal malrotation with Ladd’s band leading in a 23 year old woman
