Abstract
Patients (159) with malrotation treated in the Children''s Hospital Medical Center from 1951-1967 are presented and analyzed with regard to the factors contributing to the success or failure of their management. There were 28 deaths, the majority of which occurred in patients who were less than 1 mo. old, had multiple congenital anomalies, or had vovulus of the small bowel with gangrene and perforation. The diagnoses are reviewed and the disease as it presents in older children is considered briefly.
