Sigmoid volvulus, a rare condition in young adults, often causes recurrent abdominal pain. Delayed diagnosis is common due to low suspicion, as illustrated by a case of a 17-year-old girl.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Case Reports

Background:

Sigmoid volvulus is uncommon in young adults.
It typically manifests as recurrent abdominal pain.
Diagnosis is often delayed due to low clinical suspicion.

Observation:

A 17-year-old female presented with recurrent episodes suggestive of sigmoid volvulus.
The patient experienced chronic, intermittent abdominal pain.

Findings:

The case highlights the diagnostic challenges of sigmoid volvulus in adolescents.
Recurrent symptoms in young adults warrant consideration of this rare condition.

Implications:

Increased awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis and intervention for sigmoid volvulus in young patients.
