Unlabelled:
Volvulus of transverse colon is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction. To our knowledge only 75 cases have been reported in the world literature and additionally only three cases of transverse colon volvulus with Chilaiditis syndrome have been reported to date.

This is probably the fourth case of Chilaiditis syndrome caused by transverse colon volvulus.
