ANOMALOUS rotation of the bowel almost always results in such gross departure from normal position as to be readily noted on x-ray examination after the administration of barium by either the oral or the rectal route. Such dislocation may and may not cause obstruction. That relatively minor variations from the normal in the course of the proximal small bowel may cause obstruction is not so well known. In the cases reported below, partial obstruction was caused by angulation of the duodenum in 2 and of the most proximal segment of the jejunum in the third.Case ReportsCase 1. G.B. . . .
