Implication

Case report documents simultaneous volvulus of the transverse and sigmoid colon, causing large bowel obstruction, highlighting the need for timely surgical intervention.

Key Points

Simultaneous volvulus of the transverse and sigmoid colon is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction.
A 49-year-old female experienced intermittent abdominal pain and failure to pass flatus for three days.
Exploratory laparotomy confirmed the volvulus twisted 270° on their mesenteries, requiring detorsion.
Timely surgical intervention is critical to prevent ischaemia, as diagnosis is often made during surgery.
