Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: The diagnosis of small bowel volvulus can be made in an emergency in the presence of an acute intestinal obstruction, or even a state of shock, or in the presence of repeated abdominal pain often associated with transit disorders. It is a dreaded complication of incomplete common mesentery, which is defined as a rotation anomaly of the digestive tract very rare in adults. symptoms are non-specific, hence the knowledge of its radiological characteristics, especially scannographic, allows an early therapeutic management. We report the observation of a 57-year-old patient admitted for small bowel volvulus on incomplete common mesentery diagnosed by abdominal computed tomography (CT) and confirmed by surgical exploration, and in whom the evolution was favorable.
