THE NOUN volvulus has its origin from the Latin verb "volvere" which means "to turn about" or "to roll." During the past one hundred years physicians have created and firmly established the word "volvulus" as a vernacularism common to their profession and without meaning if employed in any other manner.

The American Journal of Surgery, 1953
Abstract 1. 1. A case of volvulus of the cecum with associated perforation is presented. 2. 2. Colonic obstruction secondary to an intussuscepting, polypoid carcinoma was believed to be of etiologic significance in this patient. 3. 3. The difficulties of proper early diagnosis are discussed, and the salient features to be sought in a ...

Volvulus of the caecum is rather uncommon, occurring in 1–3% of cases of acute intestinal obstruction (Frimann-Dahl, 1954; Krippaehne et al, 1967). Diagnosis is not difficult if the classical textbook radiological appearances are present of a dilated viscus in the left hypochondrium compressing the stomach, signs of small bowel obstruction and an empty

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1977
We have reviewed the records of 48 patients who had colonic volvulus. Volvulus occurred in the sigmoid colon in 27 (56%) and in the right colon in 19 (40%). Volvulus elsewhere in the colon is rare, requiring unusual anatomic circumstances of a long mesentery and a mobile colon.

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1947
Excerpt Volvulus of the stomach is seldom considered in the diagnosis of acute abdominal disease. Yet it may produce symptoms as sudden and violent as the more familiar volvulus of the intestine.

The American Journal of Surgery, 1962
Abstract A group of fifty-three patients with volvulus of the colon is reported. There were thirty-five adults and eighteen children. This fairly rare cause of intestinal obstruction was more devastating in the latter, accounting for a mortality rate of 44.4 per cent, compared with 5.7 per cent in the adults.

VOLVULUS of the cecum is a rare disease. Our interest in this subject was stimulated by three cases occurring recently at the Boston City Hospital. The purpose of this paper is to review briefly the condition and add three cases to the literature. The incidence of volvulus of the cecum as a cause of intestinal obstruction varies with different authors.

Volvulus of the spleen in absence of malarious splenomegaly is rare. Most reported instances occur in young and middle-aged women and are related to a congenital abnormality of the mesogastrium, pregnancy, and multiparity. In this reported case of splenic volvulus in a young, multiparous woman, posterior mesogastrium malformation was the cause. Certain

Malrotation With Gastric Volvulus, Midgut Volvulus, and Pancreatitis
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1977A 2-year-old child with intestinal malrotation had simultaneous gastric volvulus, midgut volvulus, acute pancreatitis, and gastric perforation, followed postoperatively by a temporary period of both lactosuria and sucrosuria. The gastric volvulus and midgut volvulus resulted in both proximal and distal obstruction of the duodenum, reproducing ...

ORGANOAXIAL VOLVULUS OF THE STOMACH AND VOLVULUS OF THE SIGMOID COLON
Medical Journal of Australia, 1980The management of a patient in whom both organoaxial volvulus of the stomach and volvulus of the sigmoid colon had occurred is described. Anterior gastropexy was successful in preventing recurrence of the gastric volvulus. The angulation and distortion of the stomach so produced may have been responsible for the development of a benign gastric ulcer.
