Accession:HP:0004794 term browser browse the term
Definition:A deviation from the normal rotation of the midgut during embryologic development with mislocalization of the small bowel.
Comment:Malrotation results not only in the malposition of the bowel but also in the malfixation of the mesentery. The normally broad mesenteric attachment is shortened to a narrow pedicle that predisposes the patient to the complication of midgut volvulus.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: Malrotation of the small intestine
 xref: UMLS:C1860244
