ABSTRACT
Transverse colon volvulus is an uncommon cause of large bowel obstruction. Clinical presentation is not specific and therefore, diagnosis is usually made by radiological investigation.

Therapy consists of urgent surgery, usually with resection of the twisted transverse colon. We present a case with an overview of the literature
