Does Duodenal Atresia and Stenosis Prevent Midgut Volvulus in Malrotation?

Thirty-six of the 64 (56%) neonates with duodenal atresia and stenosis who were retrospectively reviewed had associated malrotation. A volvulus neonatorum (age: <28 days) was not encountered among these patients. Can the duodenal atresia and stenosis act as a flood gate mechanism, in the prevention of volvulus in these children?
