title: Long-term survival of a patient with congenital short bowel and malrotation.
abstract: Since 1969, reports of 16 patients presenting with the congenital short bowel and malrotation syndrome have been published. The prognosis of this malformation is poor; only two patients survived. We present the history of a third patient, successfully treated with long-term survival.
