ABSTRACT
Sigmoid volvulus is uncommon in children. Chronic constipation rarely leads to sigmoid volvulus. We report the experience of a case of sigmoid volvulus led by chronic constipation in a child. An 11-year-old girl complained abdominal pain and constipation, which had continued for previous 3 years. Under the impression of sigmoid volvulus by simple abdominal x-ray and abdominal computed tomography, emergency colonoscopic reduction of the volvulus tried to fail to the emergency segmental resection of the twisted sigmoid colon. After 3 months of operation, her constipation improved gradually with no other untoward symptoms so far.
