Abstract

Summary: Small bowel volvulus (SBV) is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, specifically in adults, accounting for approximately 1% of bowel obstruction in the adult population in North America. It is more common in the neonatal and paediatric population, mostly due to congenital abnormalities such as malrotation, atresia and congenital bands. We present two cases of SBV managed at a level 2 provincial hospital within a 2-month period. In the first case no primary cause could be found and in the second case adhesions following midline laparotomy resulted in SBV.

成人小肠卷曲--病例系列。
摘要:小肠粘连(SBV)是一种罕见的肠梗阻病因,特别是在成人中,约占北美成人肠梗阻的 1%。它在新生儿和儿科人群中更为常见,主要是由于先天性畸形,如旋转不良、闭锁和先天性肠带。我们介绍了一家省级二级医院在两个月内收治的两例 SBV 病例。第一个病例未找到原发病因,第二个病例是中线开腹手术后粘连导致 SBV。
