Sigmoid Volvulus in Children

Pediatrics, 1974
Sigmoid volvulus occurred in a boy when he was 6 and 10 years of age. He also had nonobstructive malrotation of the midgut. Reduction both times was effected by proctosigmoidoscopy and the insertion of a rectal tube. Examination of the gastrointestinal tract with barium after the second reduction showed a large sigmoid colon with rough mucosa.

Volvulus of the Sigmoid Colon

A study of 37 patients with sigmoid volvulus is presented. Subsequent bouts of recurrent volvulus are very common after sigmoidoscopic intubation, and overall mortality rates are high. Surgical resection is the preferred method of treatment.

Childhood sigmoid volvulus

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1984
A 14-year-old boy presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain. Flat and upright abdominal films and a barium enema revealed the classic findings of sigmoid volvulus. Sigmoidoscopy allowed a soft rubber tube to be passed beyond the obstruction with immediate relief of pain. The patient subsequently underwent a descending sigmoid colectomy.
