Abstract
Sigmoid volvulus is an extremely rare disease among young adults. This may cause delay in diagnosis and treatment and so it may cause life threatening ischemia and necrosis at the colon. In this article we present the case which was confirmed to be sigmoid volvulus with tomographic examinations which was carried upon suspicion of sigmoid volvulus in a 17 years old girl who attended with increasing abdominal pain, constipation, obstipation and distention complaints. Taking a detailed history, performing a physical examination and evaluation of laboratory tests of a patient presenting with complaints like abdominal pain, constipation and distention are the most essential steps to diagnose the sigmoid volvulus. The most important method for early diagnosis in young adults is to keep the diagnosis in mind. So it would be possible to plan advanced radiologic and endoscopic examinations which would confirm the diagnosis. J Clin Exp Invest 2014; 5 (1): 122-125
