Abstract


Rotation anomalies are usually anomalies seen in children. It is a rare condition in adults. In this article, 4 cases are presented. In the first case, reverse rotation anomaly and appendicitis perforation were detected in a patient who had laparotomy at the age of 22 with acute abdomen. It is a unique condition that the patient had a history of previous appendectomy. Ladd band may be the cause of acute abdomen due to ileus. The patient in our second case presented a concurrent biliary stone and malrotation with Ladd band. In addition, two elderly patients who underwent hemicolectomy due to intestinal ileus caused by malrotation were presented with literature review.
