Abstract

The prevalence of intestinal mal-rotation as a cause of abdominal pain is rare in adults and normally presents during infancy. Approximately 90% of patients with mal-rotation are diagnosed within the first year of life, 80% of them are diagnosed within the first month of life. The case was a 34-year-old pregnant woman whom was admitted to the hospital due to self-limited episodes of epigastric pain from young ages. The patient complained that the pains have worsened recently. Further clinical investigation leads us to invasive intervention due to signs of obstruction and the patient was transferred to operating room.

Conclusion: Mal-rotation of the mid-gut should be considered carefully in pregnant woman due to its similar signs and symptoms with pregnancy and it’s necessary to be aware of the condition and management of it in order to decrease morbidity and mortality of the mother and neonate.
