Neonatal sigmoid volvulus

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2016
Neonatal sigmoid volvulus is a rare entity. It is associated with Hirschsprung's disease. Presentation is acute abdominal distention, vomiting and obstipation. Abdominal radiograph will show the "coffee bean" sign, but this is frequently missed and the diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion.

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.
