malrotation वाक्य

Upper gastrointestinal series is the modality of choice for the evaluation of malrotation as it will show an abnormal position of the duodeno-jejunal flexure ( ligament of Treitz ).
Less frequently encountered findings include cleft lip and palate, preauricular tags and fistulas, thymic dysplasia, intestinal malrotation, megacolon, inguinal hernia, dislocated hips, cryptorchidism, hypospadias, rare renal malformations ( e . g ., horseshoe kidneys, renal ectopia or agenesis, hydronephrosis ), clinodactyly of the fifth fingers, talipes equinovarus, pes planus, syndactyly of the second and third fingers and toes, oligosyndactyly, and hyperextensible joints.
Risk factors include anatomic characteristics such as : aesthenic ( very thin or " lanky " ) body build, an unusually high insertion of the duodenum at the ligament of Treitz, a particularly low origin of the SMA, or intestinal malrotation around an axis formed by the SMA . Predisposition is easily aggravated by any of the following : poor motility of the digestive tract, rapid linear adolescent growth spurt, weight loss, starvation, catabolic states ( as with cancer and burns ), and history of neurological injury.
