The authors discuss five older children where malrotation of the gut was diagnosed. The youngest child was three years old, the oldest 16 years. In three children the malrotation was diagnosed from clinical symptoms and examination by imaging methods, in two it was detected by chance during operation. In the two children where the impaired rotation of the gut was detected on operation, non-rotation was involved. In the remaining three children twice a left side paraduodenal hernia was diagnosed and once an external stenosis of the duodenum by Ladd's bands.
