    Abstract:
    Volvulus of the transverse colon is rare. Sixty-six cases have been reported in the English medical literature, and three new cases are presented herein. The causative factors, classical clinical presentation, radiologic findings, and management have been addressed. It is believed that colonoscopy will have an increasing role in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition in the future.
