*To illustrate the embryological developmental pathway of the small bowel (creation of the primitive gut tube, the midgut, and formation of the mesentery). *To graphically illustrate the embryological defects associated with each congenital small bowel anomaly. *To discuss the clinical and imaging characteristics of congenital, developmental, and inherited small bowel abnormalities presenting in adolescence and adulthood, with implications on management.

*Embryological developmental pathway of the small bowel with graphical illustration of defects which lead to the specific congenital anomaly. *Clinical and imaging manifestations of congenital small bowel anomalies presenting in adulthood, including Meckel’s Diverticulum, Malrotation, Midgut Volvulus, Duodenal Web, Enteric Duplication Cyst, Meconium Ileus Equivalent, and Internal Hernias. *Inherited small bowel diseases in adults such as Celiac disease, Small Bowel Polyposis Syndromes, Neurofibromatosis and Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. Summary: A wide array of congenital, developmental, and inherited abnormalities of the small bowel present in adulthood with varied clinical and imaging manifestations. Diagnosis and treatment may be delayed due to nonspecific clinical presentation. Imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and management.
