Occlusion, a rare condition during pregnancy, occurred at 38 weeks gestation in a 26-year-old patient due to volvulous of the sigmoid on a dolichomegacolon. The diagnosis was made on the basis of the clinical manifestations and coloscopy evidence. Prognosis depends more on severity to the occlusion than on its association with pregnancy.
