The hypothesis of a double reversed rotation of the pre-arterial segment of the umbilical loop around the superior mesenteric artery axis provides a possible explanation for this anomaly. There is no evidence-based consensus on the management of patients presenting with non-symptomatic or mildly symptomatic intestinal malrotations. In this case, radiologic and clinical presentations excluded acute small bowel obstruction, and surgical intervention was avoided.
