title: [Adult intestinal malrotation associated with intestinal volvulus].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Intestinal malrotation is a congenital anomaly of the intestinal rotation and fixation, and usually occurs in the neonatal age.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Description of a clinical case associated with acute occlusive symptoms.
  
  
  METHODS
  A case of intestinal malrotation is presented in a previously asymptomatic woman of 46 years old with an intestinal obstruction, with radiology and surgical findings showing an absence of intestinal rotation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intestinal malrotation in adults is often asymptomatic, and is diagnosed as a casual finding during a radiological examination performed for other reasons. Infrequently, it can be diagnosed in adults, associated with an acute abdomen.
