title: Volvulus of the ileum in adult diagnosed pre-operatively by helical 3-dimensioned computed-tomography.
abstract: A 46 year-old male who was strictly diagnosed as having volvulus of the ileum based on the pre-operative information brought by computed tomography (CT) and helical (spiral) 3-dimensioned computed tomography was surgically treated. The post-operative course was satisfactory and the patient is now under observation without any exacerbation of symptoms one year after surgery.
