Abstract

We present case reports of three recent patients to reinforce the argument that upper gastrointestinal series is the method of choice with which to document malrotation. It has been 9 years since there was a major discussion of this subject in the literature. Ultrasonography cannot confidently exclude malrotation. Radiographic study with contrast continues to be the best diagnostic tool.
