ABSTRACT
Malrotation is an intestinal gestational disorder which not only affects the positioning of the midgut, but also its vascular supply. While this is generally thought of as a pediatric surgical condition, it can have significant implications for adult surgeries as well. Herein we present a patient with asymptomatic nonrotation of the midgut with a concomitant pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The authors review the modifications necessary to perform a pancreaticoduodenectomy in a nonrotated patient. The review includes a caution and emphasis on an understanding of the vascular anatomic variants.
