Intestinal malrotation

Eltern, Betreuer, Gesundheitsdienstleister und Lehrer haben oft Bedenken und Fragen zur Pflege und zum Wohlbefinden von Menschen mit 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.
