Diagnosis usually involves a combination of clinical evaluation and imaging studies. The most common diagnostic tools include:
Abdominal X-ray: Can show signs of intestinal obstruction. Upper GI series: This is the gold standard for diagnosing malrotation. It involves swallowing a contrast material and taking X-rays to track its movement through the intestines. Ultrasound: Can help visualize abnormal positioning of the intestines and the presence of volvulus.
