MAURICIO RINCON-SANCHEZ, Reinaldo Andrés  and  RAMIREZ-BARRANCO, Rosangela. Intestinal malrotation in adults diagnosed after presentation of post polypectomy syndrome in the cecum: report of a case. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2020, vol.40, n.2, pp.185-187. ISSN 1022-5129.

Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly of intestinal rotation and fixation, diagnosed infrequently in adulthood. We report the presence of intestinal malrotation in a previously asymptomatic adult patient with changes in bowel habit in the last 6 months after a colonoscopy is performed with evidence of a polyp in the cecum, after resection presenting acute abdominal pain in the left iliac fossa that allows imaging to confirm the diagnostic.
