ABSTRACT
Volvulus of the sigmoid colon, which is common in certain groups of adults and in certain ethnic groups, is extremely rare in infancy and childhood. The clinical features and the radiological appearances may not distinguish the condition from other causes of an acute abdomen. We report this condition in a Saudi child in whom laparotomy and simple reduction of the volvulus proved satisfactory
