Abstract
Total small bowel volvulus complicating commonin complete mesentery is an arrest of rotation of the primary intestinal loop at 180°. Acute volvulus requires emergency surgery. We describe a case of a 65 year old patient who was admitted with total small bowel volvulus on an incomplete common mesentery, who underwent emergency surgery with favorable postoperative outcome.
