Abstract

Background: Recent studies indicate that the organo-axial subtype of a sigmoid volvulus is more prevalent than the conventional mesentero-axial subtype. Our study aimed to assess the clinical and radiological findings that differentiate between these two subtypes, as well as to ascertain treatment outcomes and prognostic characteristics. Methods: A retrospective review included 54 patients, during which abdominal plain radiographs and computed tomography images were analyzed by two radiologists, and data on recurrence, mortality, and treatment outcomes were documented. Results: The mesentero-axial subtype comprised 40 cases (74%). No distinct radiographic findings were observed to differentiate between the two groups. In computed tomography, the sole significant parameter for differentiation was the number of transition zones. The diameter of the segment exhibiting a volvulus was greater in instances of the mesentero-axial subtype. The endoscopic detorsion treatment proved ineffective in five patients within the mesentero-axial sigmoid volvulus cohort. Conclusions: Identifying these two types of SV on CT images is essential because of their distinct prognoses and therapeutic results.
