Transverse colonic volvulus presenting in a 19-year-old female with subsequent sigmoid volvulus

Abstract Transverse colonic volvulus is exceptionally rare and is the rarest compared to sigmoid or cecal volvulus. This case report summarizes the care of a young 19-year-old woman who presented with transverse colonic volvulus. This woman came to the emergency room with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, and she had no risk factors for a volvulus. This case report has the goal of raising awareness among those taking care of anyone coming in for abdominal pain. Volvulus is a serious issue and can be life threatening if not treated appropriately.
