Malrotation

In this episode Jennifer He, a 4th year McGill medical student, is going to talk about intestinal malrotation. This condition is very important to know about because it can present in a variety of ways, and early diagnosis of the condition can prompt early management, which has a big impact on the prognosis of the condition. The incidence of malrotation has been estimated at 1 in 6000 live births. Associated anomalies are common; the anomalies with the highest incidence include intestinal atresia, imperforate anus, cardiac anomalies and trisomy 21.

Well 75+15 is all of 90% so 90% of people get diagnosed before the age of 2.. I was diagnosed at 18... it took 3 hospital visits for the pains to figure out what was wrong. I never had a problem with this before. Once I turner 18. It hit me. I cant eat certain things anymore. I get pains out of nowhere. The appendix is actually not where it’s supposed to be. It’s way above where the appendix belongs.
