SIGMOID VOLVULUS COMPLICATING CAESAREAN SECTION – REVIEW & BRIEF CASE REPORT
View through CrossRef
Sigmoid volvulus in pregnancy is a very rare clinical situation responsible for high rates of mortality and morbidity in both mother and fetus. It is due to the gravid uterus which itself clouds the clinical picture of sigmoid volvulus.A long and redundant sigmoid colon compressed by enlarged gravid uterus, might explain increased incidence of sigmoid volvulus during pregnancy especially during third trimester. This article describes a case with 36 weeks of gestation where sigmoid volvulus was encountered during caesarean section.
