摘　　要：The most accurate and practical imaging algorithm for the diagnosis of intestinal malrotation can be a complex and sometimes controversial topic.Since 1900,sig-nificant advances have been made in the radiographic assessment of infants and children suspected to have anomalies of intestinal rotation.We describe the cur-rent methods of abdominal imaging of malrotation along with their pros and cons.When associated with volvulus,malrotation is a true surgical emergency re-quiring rapid diagnosis and treatment.We emphasize the importance of close cooperation and communica-tion between radiology and surgery to perform an effective and efficient diagnostic evaluation allowing prompt surgical decision making.The most accurate and practical imaging algorithm for the diagnosis of intestinal malrotation can be a complex and sometimes controversial topic.Since 1900,sig-nificant advances have been made in the radiographic assessment of infants and children suspected to have anomalies of intestinal rotation.We describe the cur-rent methods of abdominal imaging of malrotation along with their pros and cons.When associated with volvulus,malrotation is a true surgical emergency re-quiring rapid diagnosis and treatment.We emphasize the importance of close cooperation and communica-tion between radiology and surgery to perform an effective and efficient diagnostic evaluation allowing prompt surgical decision making.
