Midgut malrotation diagnosed by ultrasound.
Ultrasound was used to demonstrate the abnormal orientation of the mesenteric vessels in six cases of midgut malrotation. Five of these patients were known to have an abnormality of rotation before the ultrasound scan. In one patient malrotation was predicted from the ultrasound scan and confirmed by a barium study and at operation.
