Abstract
We present case reports of three recent patients to reinforce the argument that upper gastrointestinal series is the method of choice with which to do cument malrotation. It has been 9 years since there was a major discussion of this subject in the literature. Ultrasonography cannot confidently exclu de malrotation, Radiographic study with contrast continues to be the best d iagnostic tool.
