  • Title: Transverse colon volvulus in pediatric patients.
    Author: Mercado-Deane MG, Burton EM, Howell CG.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1995; 25(2):111-2. PubMed ID: 7596654.
    Abstract:
    Volvulus of the transverse colon is rare in the pediatric population. We present the tenth known case of a volvulus of the transverse colon in a child. A barium enema demonstrated the bird beak appearance of the colon and showed an air-contrast mirror image in the proximal end. The 360 degrees volvulus found at surgery was treated successfully by detorsion of the bowel.
