< b>Malrotation of the intestine: Failure for the intestine to rotate normally
during embryonic development. One of the dangers is that the intestine may be obstructed
by abnormal bands or twist on its own blood supply, a condition called volvulus.
Malrotation of the intestine is usually not apparent until the intestine becomes
obstructed or twisted. Symptoms at that time may include vomiting up bile (greenish-yellow
digestive fluid), abdominal pain, drawing up the legs, distention (swelling) of
the abdomen, and bloody stools.
This situation is considered an emergency and calls for immediate surgery to
salvage the intestine and save the child..
