- W3004267074 abstract "Sigmoid volvulus is a frequent cause of large bowl obstruction. If it is not recognized in time, it can be hazardous with a high risk of mortality. Otherwise, simple exams could help to reach the correct diagnosis in time, which may completely change the prognosis and even avoid surgery in some cases. A 58-year-old man presented to the emergency room with acute abdominal pain associated with distal intestinal obstruction syndrome. The physical examination revealed a remarkable distention of the abdomen and the sigmoid colon whose limits could be discerned under the skin since the patient was thin (A) as well as a depression at the left iliac fossa (B). The plain abdominal radiography showed the « Coffee bean » sign (C). A CT-scan was performed showing a « Whirl sign » (D,E). The patient underwent emergency surgery. Intraoperatively, the sigmoid colon was markedly dilated and volvulated (F). We performed a resection of the sigmoid colon and primary anastomosis with simple outcomes. Through this case, we can conclude the multiple sings of sigmoid volvulus like the pathognomonic triad of Von Wahl, present in 68.84% of cases. The CT scan permits to confirm the diagnosis by showing the whirl sign: twisting of the mesenteric vessels and search for complications. Regarding the risk of recurrence of 18-90% for the endoscopic decompression, the most considered treatment is sigmoid non-surgical decompression followed by an elective sigmoid resection." @default.
