    Author: Hokama A, Iraha A.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 2024 Feb; 116(2):114-115. PubMed ID: 36263824.
    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old man presented with abdominal distension. A plain radiograph showed the coffee bean sign, suggesting sigmoid volvulus (SV). The CT scans disclosed the steel pan sign, the whirl sign, and the beak-shaped transition point, confirming SV. He improved with colonoscopic decompression and detorsion. Characteristic radiographic signs of SV are briefly discussed.
