title: Synchronous cecal and sigmoid volvulus. Report of a case.
abstract: Volvulus is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the U.S. Sigmoid colon volvulus is the most frequent, followed by cecal volvulus. The simultaneous occurrence of cecal and sigmoid colon volvulus is extremely unusual. We are reporting what to our knowledge is the third case.
