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.
