Abstract
Volvulus of the transverse colon is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. To our knowledge, only 75 cases have been reported in the English literature to date. No recent reviews of transverse colon volvulus in adult patients have been published in the surgical literature since 1983. Additionally, only two cases of transverse colon volvulus associated with Chilaiditi's syndrome have been reported. We report a case of transverse colon volvulus which was indeed associated with Chilaiditi's syndrome and review the literature.
