Intestinal rotation abnormalities (IRAs) are a potential source of morbidity and mortality. For this study, our objective was to prospectively observe a cohort of infants with HS and determine the incidence and natural history of IRA.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Infants \u22646 months of age with HS were enrolled in this prospective observational study. Exclusion criteria were other congenital abnormalities that necessitated abdominal surgery. HS was defined as any arrangement of organs that was not situs solitus or situs inversus along with associated congenital heart disease.

Thirty-eight infants from 7 institutions were included; 22 infants had right isomerism and 16 infants had left isomerism. Twenty-nine infants (76%) were evaluated for IRAs; 21 of 29 evaluations (72%) were abnormal. Eight infants were investigated because of symptoms, and 21 infants were evaluated routinely. The median age at symptom presentation was 46 days (range: 5\u2013171 days). Seven infants had a Ladd procedure; 4 were prophylactic, with 3 as part of a combined procedure, and 3 were emergent. No child suffered acute midgut volvulus over a median follow-up of 1.6 years (range: 0.06\u20134.93 years).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>IRAs are common in infants with HS.
