  • Title: Volvulus of the transverse colon.
    Author: Wolf EL, Frager D, Beneventano TC.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1984 Oct; 79(10):797-8. PubMed ID: 6486116.
    Abstract:
    A volvulus of the transverse colon in a 78-year-old woman is reported. The diagnosis is established by abdominal film and barium enema with surgical confirmation. Women are more commonly affected than men. There is a higher mortality rate for volvulus of the transverse colon than for either sigmoid or cecal volvulus.
