The sub-acute form of transverse colon volvulus manifests with signs and symptoms of large bowel obstruction. The diagnosis is most often done intraoperatively. We report a rare case of transverse colon volvulus in a 65-year-old female patient with no particular pathological or surgical history.
Sub-acute transverse colon volvulus in an elderly woman with no pathological or surgical history. Manifested with signs and symptoms of colonic obstruction. Surgically treated by a two-stage procedure with good postoperative outcomes.
The transverse colon volvulus represents only 2-4% of all colonic volvulus. We discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approach of our case of transverse colon volvulus through a literature review.
Transverse colon volvulus should be considered as a differential diagnosis in the face of large bowel obstruction. Early diagnosis and treatment improve the prognosis.
