Volvulus of the transverse colon in a four-year-old boy

A 4-year-old boy with a volvulus of the transverse colon is presented. The mildness of the obstruction made direct visualization of the twisted loop with barium enema possible. At laparotomy a congenital band between the transverse colon and the small intestine was found to have been the predisposing factor of the volvulus.
