| Popis: | Volvulus of the transverse colon constitutes one of the rarest forms of mechanical obstruction of the large bowel, and reliable radiologic documentation of such an accident occurring in a normally developed colon (excluding anomalies of rotation) is indeed unusual. Kallio (10), in 1932, collected 18 cases, including 2 from his own experience, and stated that, although uncommon, volvulus of this type was possible in the presence of an extremely redundant transverse colon whose flexures were in unusually close proximity; the torsion mechanism thus was similar to that occurring in the sigmoid. Kallio furnished an excellent review of the literature and the reader is referred to his paper for references to the earlier cases. The only subsequent contributions dealing with this condition are single case reports by Groth (8) in 1934, Melchior (13) in 1934, Martin and Ward (12) in 1944, Tabanelli (18) in 1947, Olivier and Libaude (15) in 1948, Murray (14) in 1950, and a report of 2 cases by Buenger (3) in 1954.
