ABSTRACT

To present the experience in clinical/radiological diagnosis and treatment of sigmoid volvulus. Cases with symptoms suggestive of intestinal obstruction secondary to sigmoid volvulus were included. The risk factors were: male sex, longer hospital stay, age over 70 years and the classic triad. Imaging studies were conclusive, with abdominal radiography and simple abdominal tomography being the tests of choice for the diagnostic approach. Sigmoid volvulus has a predictable clinical-radiological pattern, a thorough physical examination and first-line cabinet studies can be conclusive. The therapeutic option for these patients was surgery.
