Primary splenic flexure volvulus--a case report with review of literature.

Splenic flexure is a rare site for volvulus. Very few cases have been reported in the literature. Cases mostly present with recurrent attacks of obstruction with distension of the abdomen. A case of a young female who had primary splenic plexure volvulus due to absence of ligamental attachment has been presented here. Resection of the volvulus segment with end to end anastomosis is the curative surgical treatment.
