Abstract
In the present paper a mixed variety of malrotation of lower mid gut like retroperitoneal fixed ileum, undescended ileocecal junction, subhepatic vermiform appendix and intraperitoneal ascending colon in a macrosomatic fetus is being reported. Earlier, subhepatic appendix was reported, but the associated anomalies like retroperitoneal ilium and intraperitoneal ascending colon have not been reported. Further, ontogenic explanation of the anomalies is discussed in detail.
