Resumen
VELAZ-PARDO, Leyre et al. Intestinal malrotation in adults: An uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.3, pp.287-291. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.444.
The intestinal malrotation is a congenital malformation that affects up to 1% of the population. Approximately 90% of cases are diagnosed in the pediatric age and rarely in the adult population, which makes this pathology a challenge for health professionals.
This is a case of a patient who presented with intestinal obstruction and acute abdomen that was diagnosed during the emergency exploratory laparotomy with intestinal malrotation, volvulus and obstruction. The knowledge of this pathology is essential to perform its correct surgical treatment.
