Incomplete rotation of the intestine with a normal cecal position.
Nineteen patients with incomplete rotation of the intestine, seen during a 3-year period, are presented. Six patients (32%) had a normal cecal position but an abnormal duodenojejunal junction. Three of these patients had a midgut volvulus, and one had obstructing duodenal bands. The two remaining patients were premature and had postnatal fixation of the duodenojejunal junction over a 10-month to 2-year period.
