Sigmoid Volvulus in the Paediatric Population

DOI: 
10.7727/wimj.2016.451

ABSTRACT

Sigmoid volvulus is a relatively rare condition commonly associated with the elderly. Because of this strong link with elderly adults,  children- including neonates, who are by no means immune to the condition, are more prone to be misdiagnosed and suffer the consequences of a delay in diagnosis.
