Article Abstract
Intestinal malrotation is a congenital condition that affects ⁓1 in every 6000 live births in which the intestines undergo abnormal rotation during early embryonic development that leads to the unusual positioning of the cecum and appendix. This abnormal placement can complicate the diagnosis of appendicitis for healthcare providers, and serious complications can result if the condition is not identified and managed promptly. This case report aims to present a rare presentation of appendicitis and to highlight the importance of understanding this congenital abnormality.
