ResumoIntrodução: A Má Rotação Intestinal é uma anomalia congênita causada por incompleta ou ausência de rotação normal do intestino primitivo durante o período embrionário. Ela se manifesta de forma variável. Neste presente estudo, apresentaremos um caso que representa este diagnóstico. Relato do Caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 51 anos, deu entrada ao pronto-socorro do Hospital Santa Isabel, com queixa de dor em epigástrio há 3 dias, contínua, com irradiação para hipogástrio e região direita do abdome associada a náuseas, vômitos biliosos e parada de eliminação de fezes. Como conduta inicial, foram solicitados exames laboratoriais e de imagem, com uma hipótese diagnóstica inicial de um abdome agudo obstrutivo a esclarecer. Na tomografia de abdome, em fase sem contraste, notou-se sinais de má--rotação intestinal. Conclusão: O caso relatado mostra uma apresentação típica de complicação secundária à má rotação intestinal em um adulto. Os exames de imagem foram importantes para o diagnóstico dessa paciente. AbstractBackground: Intestinal malrotation is a congenital ano-maly caused by an incomplete or lack of normal gut rotation during embryogenic period. It manifests in varying ways. In this study, we present a case that represents this diagnosis. Case Report: Female patient, 51 years old, arrives at the Santa Isabel's Emergency Department complaining about a continuous epigastric pain for the last 3 days, irradiating to the lower abdominal quadrant and right side of abdomen, associated with nausea, bilious vomiting, and failure to thrive. As an initial approach, image and laboratory studies were performed, with a diagnostic hypothesis of obstructive acute abdomen. In contrasted tomography, no contrast phase, signals of malrotation were seen. Conclusion: This case report provides a typical presentation of a complication from intestinal malrotation in an adult. Image studies were critical to this diagnosis.
