Résumé
Emergency diagnosis of small bowel volvulus can be established in patients with acute intestinal obstruction, or even shock, or repeated abdominal pain often associated with motility disorders. This is a life-threatening complication of common incomplete mesentery, which is defined as an intestinal malrotation occurring very rarely in adults. Clinical symptoms are non-specific, hence the importance of knowing the radiological features, in particular scannographic features of this rare entity, thus enabling early therapeutic management. We here report the case of a 65-year-old patient admitted with total small bowel volvulus complicating common incomplete mesentery, diagnosed based on abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan and confirmed at surgery, who had favorable outcome.
