Um vôlvulo é uma torção anormal do intestino em torno do eixo de seu próprio mesentério, resultando em obstrução do intestino mais proximal. A torção do mesentério pode envolver os vasos mesentéricos e assim tornar a alça envolvida particularmente suscetível a estrangulamento e gangrena, resultando em perfuração, peritonite e sepse. | |||
