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.

Abstract Background Fistulous connections arising between the kidney and colon are rare and develop due to multiple aetiologies. We present a rare case of a reno-colic fistula presenting unusually as a retroperitoneal and psoas abscess managed surgically with a good outcome. Case Report A 49-year-old lady presented with 5-day history of left flank pain and swelling with no significant surgical or medical history. Physical examination revealed a tender left renal angle with raised inflammatory markers (CRP and WCC). Computed tomography (CT) revealed an extensive collection extending from an atrophic left kidney through the retroperitoneum and psoas into the subcutaneous tissues with possible fistulation into the descending colon. This was initially treated with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of the collection. A reno-colic fistula was confirmed via left retrograde pyelogram. Under the multidisciplinary care of the urology and colorectal general surgical teams she underwent a left nephrectomy, large bowel resection and defunctioning colostomy successfully and was discharged eight days later. Histology later confirmed an extensively scarred atrophic left kidney with multiple renal stones with no preserved glomeruli, focal inflammatory infiltrate and stromal calcification consistent with end stage nephropathy. With the resected 5 cm descending colon showing mucosal and serosal inflammation consistent with site of fistula. Conclusions Reno-colic fistula is rare and presentation with a retroperitoneal and psoas abscess uncommon. We report a rare case of a reno-colic fistula secondary to a chronically infected and obstructed left kidney managed surgically with a good outcome.

Descending Colon

A 28-year-old woman approached the emergency department because of recent diffuse abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Peritoneal signs on physical exam led to abdominal CT scan which demonstrated colonic obstruction, resulting from colocolonic intussusception of the descending colon. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis as well as the aetiology of a 4 cm intraluminal polyp. Left hemicolectomy with primary anastomosis was performed. The final pathology revealed a tubulovillous adenoma with multiple foci of high-grade dysplasia. Intussusception is a rare cause for colonic obstruction, and ~90% of cases in adults are secondary to an anatomical or pathological condition. Therefore, we recommend oncological resection of the affected part.
