The incidence of intestinal volvulus as a cause of abdominal pain is rare in adults and normally presents during infancy. Approximately 90% of patients with volvulus are diagnosed within the first year of life, 80% of whom are diagnosed within the first month of life. The current case was a 34-year-old pregnant woman who was admitted to the hospital due to self-limited episodes of epigastric pain from a young age. The patient complained that the pains had recently worsened. Further clinical investigation led us to invasive intervention due to signs of obstruction, and the patient was transferred to the operating room. The case represents a rare incidence of intestinal volvulus in an adult and its complications through pregnancy.
