 Intestinal Malrotation Associated with Peters' Anomaly
Because of this, researchers at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey-New Jersey Medical School in Newark emphasize the importance of evaluating the position of the Treitz ligament during gastrointestinal examination in patients being evaluated for gastroesophageal reflex and aspiration.
This recommendation is in a case study about a 5-month-old child born at 26 weeks gestation and diagnosed with Peters' anomaly published in the :Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus.
Intestinal malrotation is among the systemic anomalies associated with Peters' anomaly, a congenital corneal opacity with corresponding defects in the posterior corneal stroma, Descemet's membrane and endothelium.

 American Gastroenterological Association
Tubes placed past the third portion of the duodenum, and especially past the ligament of Treitz, are associated with a decreased risk of aspiration.
Jejunal access is helpful in patients with recurrent tube feeding aspiration (not oropharyngeal) or in critically ill patients at risk for gastric motility dysfunction (e.g., patients with head trauma).
To limit the risk of aspiration during tube feeding, the following should be considered for each patient.
