Recurrent sigmoid volvulus is a clinical entity characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete sigmoid volvulus. Although it is commonly seen in the elderly, it can be occasionally seen in younger patients. Patients with recurrent partial sigmoid volvulus are relatively asymptomatic or present with mild abdominal pain. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent conversion to acute gangrenous volvulus. We present a case of recurrent partial sigmoid volvulus in association with eventration of diaphragm in a 26-year-old man.
复发性乙状结肠扭转是一种临床病症,其特征为乙状结肠部分或完全扭转反复发作。虽然该病常见于老年人,但偶尔也可见于年轻患者。复发性部分乙状结肠扭转患者相对无症状或仅有轻度腹痛。早期诊断和治疗对于预防转变为急性坏疽性扭转至关重要。我们报告一例26岁男性复发性部分乙状结肠扭转合并膈膨出的病例。
