  • Title: Malrotation with transverse colon volvulus in early pregnancy: a rare cause for acute intestinal obstruction.
    Author: Sharma D, Parameshwaran R, Dani T, Shetty P.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2013 Aug 20; 2013():. PubMed ID: 23964051.
    Abstract:
    Colonic volvulus is a relatively uncommon cause of large bowel obstruction, accounting for 10% of colonic obstructions. Volvulus of the transverse colon is quite rare, accounting for only 4-11% of all reported cases. We report an unusual case of documented volvulus of the transverse colon in a pregnant woman with intestinal malrotation and concomitant acute intestinal obstruction by congenital bands and adhesions.
