Intestinal malrotation refers to the partial or complete failure of rotation of midgut around the superior mesenteric vessels in embryonic life which increases the risk of twisting midgut and subsequent obstruction and necrosis.

Malrotation in adults is a rare cause of midgut volvulus as though it should be considered in differential diagnosis in patients presented with acute abdomen and intestinal ischemia.

Typical radiological signs are corkscrew sign.
