Introduction:Volvulus is a medical term that originated from the Latin word volvere, which means ”to twist.” It was first described in the literature by von Rokitansky in 1841. Twisting of the intestine is the hallmark of intestinal volvulus, which most commonly affects the sigmoid colon. This pathology is known for its potential to cause obstruction, ischemia, and intestinal necrosis, with serious consequences. While volvulus most commonly occurs in the sigmoid colon, it can occur throughout the gastrointestinal tract [1]. In this case report, we describe a 77-year-old woman who had a small bowel resection after presenting with abdominal pain and being diagnosed with ileal volvulus. A review of the literature on gastrointestinal volvulus, primarily in the small intestine, is also provided.
