Midgut malrotation is a surgical emergency usually seen in the first weeks of life. It presents with duodenal obstruction and bile emesis; the signs may be intermittent or minimal. The advantages and limitations of plain films, barium enema studies, and gastrointestinal studies were reviewed in 77 patients with malrotation; volvulus was seen in 65. Additional experience was gained from a questionnaire among members of the Society for Pediatric Radiology. Barium enema studies were preferred by 39 respondents. The upper gastrointestinal series was useful in defining extrinsic duodenal obstruction, but was difficult to interpret if the patient was asymptomatic when studied.
