Ischemic jejunitis caused by primary small bowel volvulus

A case of ischemic jejunitis caused by primary small bowel volvulus is presented. The radiological signs of ischemia persisted after detorsion. Contrast examinations of the small intestine demonstrated severe jejunitis with ulcerations, segmental narrowing and fistulas. This last sign is a rather uncommon event in ischemic disorders. The radiological signs of acute ischemia of the small intestine are discussed.
