title: [Volvulus of the appendix].
abstract: The authors describe the case-history of a volvulus of the appendix which developed as a result of an inborn defect in the appendiceal mesenteriolume. The surgical finding did not suggest primary appendicitis but rather strangulation of the aboral part of the appendix.
