Small bowel volvulus diagnosed by the CT "whirl sign".

Niels de Korte1, Cornelis T Grutters, Jacob P Snellen.   

Abstract

A 24-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute onset, colicky, abdominal pain. A CT scan showed the "whirl sign" diagnostic of small bowel volvulus. Diagnosis of a small bowel volvulus can be challenging, and CT scan is the imaging modality of choice.
