    <abstract language="eng">Midgut volvulus is a surgical emergency where the small intestine twists around its blood supply (the superior mesenteric artery and vein), obstructing blood flow and potentially leading to tissue damage. It's more common in infants with intestinal malrotation, a condition where the intestines don't rotate correctly during development, but it can also occur in adults. In this article, we are reporting an interesting case report of mid gut volvulus with early ischemic changes due to undiagnosed mesenteric lymphagioma in an adult.</abstract>
