Abstract
Intestinal obstruction complicating pregnancy is an extremely rare complication during pregnancy. Volvulus of the sigmoid colon is the most common cause of intestinal obstruction complicating pregnancy. Which can be associated with extremely high rates of mortality and morbidity for both mother and fetus. We report a case of sigmoid volvulus complicating pregnancy in a woman with 39 weeks amenorrhoea, which was diagnosed early and successfully managed with deterioration and fixation.
