ABSTRACT
The case we present; is an interesting example of intestinal malrotation; which is a well known congenital condition; which tend to manifest early in life. In our case the age of our patient made the diagnosis potentially more challenging; as it was not the most typical age for duodenal stenosis due to Ladd's bands; which is often mostly observed earlier in life. Stenosis of the duodenum is relatively rare; and may represent a surgical challenge; especially in setting with limited diagnostic and treatment facilities. We also discuss implication of language barriers to potentially delay timely diagnosis and optimal management
