Intestinal malrotation

For forældre, plejere, sundhedsplejersker og lærere opstår der ofte bekymringer og spørgsmål vedrørende pleje og velvære for personer med Cornelia de Lange syndrome. 

A small number of individuals with CdLS have been reported to have intestinal malrotation. This is an abnormality that can happen early in pregnancy when a baby’s intestines do not form into a coil in the abdomen.

Malrotation means that the intestines (or bowels) are twisted, which can cause a blockage. Intestinal malrotation may recur during infancy, childhood or puberty.
