Abstract
Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly that has reportedly been associated with caecal volvulus. We describe a case of partial situs inversus complicated by intestinal obstruction secondary to three simultaneously occurring volvuli of the stomach, caecum and sigmoid colon. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case in the literature of multiple, simultaneously occurring volvuli.Entities:
