Midgut volvulus in an elderly patient
Gastrointest Radiol.
1992 Spring.
Abstract
In adults, congenital anomalies of intestinal rotation are usually incidental findings. Any symptoms present may be the result of intermittent volvulus of the small bowel. We report classic fluoroscopic, computed tomographic, and angiographic findings in what is believed to be the oldest reported patient with this entity.
