Abstract Transverse colon volvulus is an extremely rare cause of bowel obstruction with approximately 100 cases reported in literature. Transverse colon volvulus presents with signs and symptoms of large bowel obstruction, but it can become a surgical emergency due to bowel infarction or peritonitis. We present a rare case of transverse colon volvulus in a 36-year-old male patient with severe autism. We hope this case report will raise awareness of this disease.

Colon Volvulus

Introduction. Transverse colon volvulus is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction in general. Predisposing factors are mental retardation, dysmotility disorders, chronic constipation and congenital megacolon. Case report. We presented transverse colon volvulus in a 16-year-old boy with cerebral palsy. Chronic constipation in neurologicaly impaired patient was a risk factor predisposing to volvulus. The patient was admitted to the hospital with enormous abdominal distension and acute respiratory insufficiency. A boy was emergently taken to the operating room for exploratory laparotomy. During the surgery, a 360? clockwise volvulus of the transverse colon was found. After reduction of volvulus, an enormous transverse colon was resected and colostomy was formed. In the postoperative period, despite the good functioning of stoma and intraabdominal normotension, numerous and long lasting respiratory problems developed. The patient was discharged from our institution after 8 months. Conclusion. Though very rare in pediatric group, the possibility of a transverse colon volvulus must be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute large bowel obstruction.

Splenic flexure volvulus is rare and results from congenital or postoperative laxity of splenic attachments. A 34 year old female presented with features of large bowel obstruction due to splenic flexure volvulus. She underwent laparotomy with detorsion and colopexy of the volvulus.

Colonic Lipoma

Abstract Lipomas are benign soft tissue tumors found throughout the body including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Colonic lipomas are typically asymptomatic, incidentally identified during endoscopy or at the time of autopsy. However, giant lipomas larger than 4 cm usually manifest symptoms such as abdominal pain, obstruction, melena or intussusception. The transverse colon is the least common location for colonic lipoma. We report on a 54-year-old man with acute large bowel obstruction secondary to a long segment colo-colonic intussusception from a giant lipoma originating in the transverse colon. The diagnosis was suggested by advanced imaging and confirmed on endoscopy. He was treated successfully by laparoscopic extended right hemicolectomy with ileocolonic anastomosis. This case highlights the complexity of presentation and surgical management of large bowel obstruction and colonic intussusception, as well as the rare entity of giant colonic lipoma.
