This report describes a very rare case of right paraduodenal hernia presenting as volvulus of nonherniated small intestine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical clues suggesting presentations of small bowel volvulus are usually nonspecific; the diagnosis is typically confirmed at surgery.[experts.umn.edu]

Duodenal atresia, midgut malrotation and volvulus, jejunoileal atresia, meconium ileus and necrotizing enterocolitis are the most common causes of neonatalintestinalobstruction.[aafp.org]
Many types of bleeding are commonly described as minor, such as ecchymosis, epistaxis, gingival bleeding, and hematuria. However, more serious bleeding can occur in certain organs such as the brain, the pericardium, the pleura, or the abdomen [ 1 ].[omicsonline.org]
A 12-year-old boy presented with sudden onset of lower abdominalpain, and emergency laparotomy was performed on a diagnosis of small intestinal obstruction.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Important features of the presentation are the acute onset of the abdominalpain and its severity which is often inconsistent with the findings on clinical examination.[link.springer.com]
Observation: A 60-year-old patient was admitted to the emergency department with diffuse abdominalpain and anuria that had started several hours earlier.[omicsonline.org]
A 2 months-old girl presented with history of bilious vomiting, sonography showed signs of volvulus and emergency laparotomy was performed and confirmed left paraduodenal hernia containing a part of the ileon, coecum with right colon and volvulus of the[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Her unremitting abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, and absolute neutrophilia were consistent with an acute process. The etiology of this volvulus was caused by an elastic fibrous band at the root of the jejunal mesentery.[experts.umn.edu]
The symptoms of abdominal pain, distention and vomiting are nonspecific and common to other causes of upper intestinal obstruction.[anmjournal.com]
Abdominal distention with bilious vomiting is observed within the first 24 hours after birth.[aafp.org]
Bilious vomiting is the key presenting symptom. A child presenting with green or yellow vomiting should be presumed to have volvulus until proved otherwise.[patient.info]
The symptoms and signs of a volvulus may include abdominal pain , nausea, vomiting, and blood in the stool. The treatment is surgery to free the obstruction and ensure normal blood flow to the bowel. Volvulus is a surgical emergency.[medicinenet.com]

A 56-year-old woman, with a history of appendectomy 30 years previously, was admitted with abdominaldistension and signs of peritonitis.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Constipation may worsen, and abdominaldistension can increase. Death is possible if the condition progresses. In fact, researchers report a mortality rate of up to . Cecal volvulus is relatively rare, according to .[healthline.com]
In the fifth postoperative month, she was admitted to the hospital with progressive abdominaldistension and mild pain.[jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
Abdominal examination revealed moderate abdominaldistension, with significant diffuse pain, without acute peritoneal findings. The general physical examination was normal.[scielo.br]
Diagnosis is that of exclusion of the common causes of acuteabdomen in the particular environment.[anmjournal.com]
Clinical presentation can vary from mild, vague abdominal pain to intestinal obstruction and an acuteabdomen [ 6 , 7 ]. Our patient displayed an acuteabdomen with widespread abdominal defense.[omicsonline.org]
So physician should consider it as one of the causes of acuteabdomen. Categories Clinical,Gastroenterology and Hepatology[hkjpaed.org]
Clinical case A 30 year-old male with sarcoidosis presents with acuteabdomen and clinical data of intestinal obstruction.[elsevier.es]
The patient had a history of hypertension for which he was receiving oral treatment. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed an edematous change in the intestinal membrane and volvulus of the small intestine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Co-morbidities such as hypertension [ 8 - 11 ], atrial fibrillation [ 10 ], and renal failure [ 9 ] also appear to be risk factors for hemorrhagic complications.[omicsonline.org]
More specifically, this 15-year-old girl has a history of strabismus repair in 2011 and right foot surgery for an arteriovenous angiodysplasia lesion. Angiodysplasia was diagnosed after an episode of abdominal pain and a rectorrhagia in 2010.[websurg.com]

Delay in diagnosis and therefore surgical intervention results in high morbidity and mortality which calls for surgeon awareness, accurate workup of the patient, and prompt surgical intervention.[anmjournal.com]
Goals for treatment of small bowel volvulus should include physician awareness of this uncommon diagnosis, accurate workup, and advanced surgical intervention.[insights.ovid.com]
After a few hours of postnatal life, boweldistention becomes remarkable because of swallowed air and causes bilious vomiting. In some cases, meconium retention may cause dystociaproducing abdominal distention.[aafp.org]
Ten patients (28.6%) showed X-raysabnormalities (excluding isolated diverticula), wide-mouthed sacculations being the most frequent finding. Our data confirm that the colon is frequently involved in SS, even in the limited form of the disease.[link.springer.com]

Clinical treatment should be instituted in the absolute majority of cases.[omicsonline.org]
This should be considered since these patients reguire early diagnosis and treatment. Our case may be even rarel because it occurred after sexual intercourse.[jstage.jst.go.jp]

Recently neuroendocrine tumors are diagnosed increasingly and precociously improving the prognosis.[panafrican-med-journal.com]
If necrosis of the bowel occurs the prognosis is often poor, depending on how much of the bowel is necrotic.[iffgd.org]
The etiology, incidence, symptomatology and mortality are studied.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The etiology of this volvulus was caused by an elastic fibrous band at the root of the jejunal mesentery. While congenital fibrous bands are rare in adults, this interpretation is favored for two reasons.[experts.umn.edu]

Epidemiology Malrotation Malrotation occurs in approximately 1 in 500 live births. However, the true incidence of malrotation is unknown, since many asymptomatic patients fail to present. Either sex can be affected with the anomaly.[patient.info]
Epidemiology Frequency United States Intestinal malrotation occurs in between 1 in 200 and 1 in 500 live births. [6, 7] However, most patients with malrotation are asymptomatic, with symptomatic malrotation occurring in only 1 in 6000 live births. [8][emedicine.medscape.com]
