[Sigmoid volvulus, a rare complication of pregnancy].
Sigmoid volvulus complicating pregnancy is a rare complication with less than 80 cases reported in literature. We report the case of a young pregnant woman, admitted for sigmoid volvulus. The sigmoid volvulus was resected and Bouilly-Volkmann's colostomy was performed. According to this case and depending on the literature, the authors discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities proposed for this rare entity.
