This case report highlights sigmoid volvulus, a rare intestinal obstruction. Computed tomography (CT) offers superior diagnostic value compared to plain radiographs and contrast enemas for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Radiology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Sigmoid volvulus is a critical condition involving the twisting of the sigmoid colon, leading to bowel obstruction.
  • Prompt diagnosis and management are essential to prevent complications such as ischemia and perforation.

Observation:

  • A specific case of sigmoid volvulus is presented for detailed analysis.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scans were utilized to visualize the affected region.

Findings:

  • CT imaging provides detailed anatomical information, clearly delineating the twisted sigmoid colon.
  • The diagnostic accuracy of CT was compared against traditional methods like abdominal plain radiographs and contrast enemas.

Implications:
