| Popis: | Colonic volvulus may infrequently occur in the transverse colon, and synchronous double volvulus is a rarely reported phenomenon in the literature. Additionally, intestinal volvulus is a rare but serious complication that has been reported in scleroderma and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. We report a 26-year-old patient with a history of scleroderma-SLE overlap syndrome who presented with an acute abdomen. CT imaging revealed a transverse colon volvulus and a cecal bascule (cecal volvulus). To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of synchronous double volvulus of the transverse colon and cecum. Additionally, this is the second reported case of transverse colon volvulus occurring in a patient with scleroderma and the first case in a patient with scleroderma-SLE overlap syndrome. |
