Normal Intestinal Rotation

a, b Primary intestinal loop before rotation (lateral view). The superior mesenteric artery forms the axis of the loop and of subsequent rotation.

c–e Counter-clockwise rotation of the gut occurs through 270° concomitantly with herniation of the small intestinal loops followed by return of the gut to the abdominal cavity during the third month of gestation.

Original paper figure based upon.[1]
