Midgut volvulus is a rare incidence in adults, especially in octogenarians. More unlikely is to find a midgut volvulus without necrosis or the need to do bowel resection when the volvulus is found within an internal hernia due to a mesenteric defect. No case has been reported with our unusual presentation, making it a rare and challenging discovery. We describe the case of an 83-year-old male who presented with nonspecific symptoms and was found to have a midgut volvulus with an internal hernia through a mesenteric defect, which had a successful recovery at the end.
中肠扭转在成年人中很少见，尤其是在八十多岁的老人中。更罕见的是，当在因肠系膜缺损导致的内疝中发现中肠扭转时，发现没有坏死或无需进行肠切除的情况。目前尚无关于我们这种不寻常表现的病例报道，这使其成为一个罕见且具有挑战性的发现。我们描述了一例83岁男性患者的病例，该患者表现为非特异性症状，经检查发现存在通过肠系膜缺损形成内疝的中肠扭转，最终成功康复。
