Abstract:
A young female patient presented to our hospital for massive rectorrhagia associated with clinical signs of peritonitis. The provisional diagnosis was of sigmoid volvolus, but laparatomy demonstrated that the problem originated from Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID). Despite prompt and uncomplicated surgery the patient did not survive, probably because of septicaemia or pulmonary embolism.
