Synchronous Volvulus of the Sigmoid Colon and the Transverse Colon: A Case Report at Gabriel Toure University Hospital in Mali
2021
Synchronous transverse and sigmoid colon volvulus are very rare. We
report the case of a 23-year-old man who underwent emergency surgery for
sigmoid colon volvulus. An intraoperative finding of transverse colon volvulus
associated with sigmoid colon volvulus was made. Left and transverse colectomy
was performed followed by colorectal anastomosis. The postoperative period was
uneventful. Synchronous volvulus of the transverse and sigmoid colon is a surgical
emergency. The clinical signs are not specific and the discovery is often
intraoperative. It is necessary to know how to evoke the diagnosis in a case of
sigmoid colon volvulus, to avoid inadequate management with dramatic
consequences.
