Malrotation of the gut with tuberculous stricture.
Malrotation of the gut is a congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract and usually present with obstruction in early childhood. Late presentation may come into light for associated pathology. We report a case that had developed obstruction due to tuberculous stricture and not due to the anomaly itself.
