ABSTRACT
A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our department in March 2020 for an evaluation of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, liver dysfunction, and hypokalemia, which had persisted intermittently since 2013. Thickening of the descending duodenal wall and a sac-like appearance the intestinal tract in the vicinity of the duodenal papilla were observed in abdominal computed tomography. No duodenojejunal curvature, with two intestinal loops identified in the descending region, was detected in contrast-enhanced upper gastrointestinal imaging. Based on these imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with intestinal malrotation (incomplete rotation and fixation) accompanied by a right paraduodenal hernia based on the Nishijima classification. Thus, surgery was performed at our hospital. Gastrointestinal symptoms did not recur, and liver dysfunction and hypokalemia improved postoperatively.
