Rotational anomalies are one of the most frequent of embryonic malformations related to the digestive tract. The incidence of malrotation is ∼1:500 births and the symptomatic incidence is 1:6000 [1, 2]. Intestinal malrotation refers to incomplete midgut rotation and fixation in early fetal life and can consist of complete absence of rotation, incomplete rotation—less than 270—or inverse rotation. In most cases Malrotation can present with other congenital anomalies and It is typically diagnosed during the first year. We report a rare case of malrotation with LADD band presenting in an 11 year old girl accompanying intrinsic duodenal stenosis and annual stenosis.

This findings are concerning enough to prompt the surgeon to consider operative exploration[6]. After stabilizing the fluid and electrolyte imbalance, the surgery was taken. Exploratory laparotomy showed extended stomach and first two parts of the duodenum, free cecum in the upper part of the abdomen, malrotation with Ladd's band extending from the colon to the liver pressing the second part of the duodenum. The bands were cut freeing the duodenum. Interior duodenal stenosis also was found so Duodenoduodenostomy (diamond) was performed with Ladd's procedure after Gastro-jejunostomy (Omega) was made. From 30 to 60% of patients with malrotation or malfixation can have other associated congenital anomalies, either inside or outside the abdominal cavity[7]. In our case the patient was also diagnosed with duodenal stenosis and anal stenosis . Anal stenosis caused her constipation early in life and was fixed with

    The surgeon will create a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples. Next, he will connect this smaller pouch directly to the middle of the small intestine (called the jejunum).

    Anatomic considerations related to this early presentation include the vertical course of the rectum along the straight surface of the sacrum and coccyx, the relatively low position of the rectum in relation to other pelvic organs, the increased mobility of the sigmoid colon, the relative lack of support by the levator ani muscle, the loose attachment of the rectal mucosa to the underlying muscularis, and the absence of Houston valves in about 75% of infants. Although cystic fibrosis is not a likely diagnosis in patients who present with rectal prolapse, a sweat test is indicated in all patients who present without an underlying anatomic abnormality. Rectal prolapse occurs in 20% of patients with cystic fibrosis who are aged 6 months to 3 years. Most prolapses get spontaneously reduced. Failure to reduce may lead to venous stasis, edema, and possibly ulceration.
