Abstract
A case of malrotation of the mid intestine with volvulus is reported in an infant in whom the clinical and radiological appearances were unusual, and had led to a misdiagnosis of necrotising enterocolitis. If the correct diagnosis had been made earlier, operation might have saved the infant's life.
