Midgut malrotation is an anomaly of fetal intestinal rotation. Its incidence in adults is rare. A case of midgut malrotation in a 51-year-old man with complicated Crohn's disease of the terminal ileum is presented. Symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed. Preoperative workup led to correct surgical planning that ultimately allowed a successful laparoscopic resection.

Objective: To analytically depict the associated malformations of polysplenia syndrome (PS) in adults via computed tomography (CT).
Materials And Methods: The incidence of malformations associated with PS in twelve adult patients was retrospectively analyzed via CT imaging.
Results: The number of splenic nodules ranged from three to twelve; the splenic nodules were located in the left upper quadrant in nine patients and in the right upper quadrant in three patients.

Background: Neonatal intestinal malrotation complicated by midgut volvulus is a serious and common life-threatening complication. When the midgut volvulus is prolonged or severe, it can lead to secondary necrosis of the entire midgut, with high mortality rates. Therefore, improving understanding the clinical characteristics of this condition is necessary to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.
