title: [A 15-year old boy with abdominal pain].
abstract: A 15-year-old boy came to the emergency department with abdominal pain in the left lower quadrant. The medical history included surgery for malrotation of bowel in two of his brothers. A CT-abdomen showed malrotation of the colon with a left-sided appendicitis and polysplenia. An emergency laparoscopic appendectomy was performed. Recovery was uneventful.
