Newborns are the most affected age group, nevertheless, adult malrotation can manifest, but in a much rarer incidence rate. Clinical awareness must be present when faced with a surgical abdomen in an adolescent patient because this pathology can have several misleading signs and symptoms which may eclipse the true preoperative diagnosis and masquerade as another, and this could result in implementing a different therapeutic approach. Swift clinical informed judgments must be made and acted upon to limit the morbidity and mortality resultant from this pathology.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We present the case of a 15-year-old female, who was brought to our Emergency Department (ED) with a 5-day-history of biliary emesis which evolved into obstipation with continuous and excruciating abdominal pain. Computed Tomography (CT) scan indicated gastric and duodenal dilation in addition to a \u201cWhirlpool sign\u201d. Exploratory laparotomy was done, and a Ladd's procedure was performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We treated our patient by performing Ladd's procedure and adhesiolysis. Diagnosis is conventionally established pre-\/intraoperatively based on radiological imaging and clinical suspicion.
