Primary abdominal x-ray revealed only distension of colon. 72 hours after the first consultation, with increasing abdominal distension and poor general condition of patient, abdominal x-ray showed a clear distension of colon suggestive for a volvulus (figure 1). Abdominal CT scan with contrast revealed distended transverse colon (figure 1).
