Abstract

Introduction: We report the clinical observation of 2 cases of volvulus with sigmoid necrosis in children.

Observation: Two male patients, aged 12 and 15, were hospitalized with acute mechanical bowel obstruction. There was an asymmetric, motionless meteorism and rectal emptiness.

X-rays of the abdomen revealed an arch.

Laparotomy found volvulus with necrosis of the sigmoid colon.                    

The Hartmann-type colostomy and the ideal colectomy were the surgical procedures.

Conclusion: Sigmoid volvulus is a rare abdominal emergency in children and severe in the necrosis stage.
