Although predominantly a neonatal diagnosis, it is an extremely rare, isolated finding in adolescents, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms that lead to diagnostic delays and increased morbidity. We report a 17\u2010year\u2010old male presenting with acute abdominal pain, distension, and vomiting. Diagnosis was established via contrast\u2010enhanced computed tomography (CT), which identified spiral rotation of mesenteric vessels and colonic displacement. The patient initially underwent a laparoscopic Ladd\u2019s procedure; however, postoperative complications involving duodenal stenosis and recurrent obstruction required a conversion to a Billroth II gastrojejunostomy with a Braun anastomosis. This case highlights that while the Ladd\u2019s procedure remains the surgical standard, the management of malrotation in older patients presents unique challenges compared to neonates. Unlike pediatric cases often associated with other malformations, adolescent presentation is typically isolated and insidious, making contrast\u2010enhanced CT essential for identifying the \u201cwhirlpool sign\u201d and avoiding misdiagnosis. Furthermore, this report underscores that chronic inflammation or recurrence in adults may demand surgical strategies beyond the standard procedure. In complex scenarios with recurrent obstruction, reconstructive techniques such as the Billroth II gastrojejunostomy with Braun anastomosis or Roux\u2010en\u2010Y gastric bypass are effective alternatives to prevent alkaline gastritis and ensure long\u2010term symptom resolution.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/carm\/5628089","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,17]],"date-time":"2026-04-17T07:22:25Z","timestamp":1776410545000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intestinal Malrotation Through Acute Obstructive Abdomen in an Adolescent From Northeastern Brazil: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6768-3286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel Vieira de","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pedro Melo Toledo","family":"Nascimento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rita de Cassia Almeida","family":"Vieira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_1_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0003134820947406"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00247-004-1279-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2007.11.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1563677"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.179.6.1791429"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4329\/wjr.v6.i9.730"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jamcollsurg.2004.04.024"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-020-05403-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2011.03.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0022-3468(98)90447-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2022\/6874885"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_2","article-title":"Intestinal Malrotation and Midgut Volvulus: a 15-year Review","author":"Lin J.
