Um volvo é uma torção anormal do intestino em torno do eixo de seu próprio mesentério, resultando em obstrução de segmento intestinal mais proximal. A torção do mesentério pode envolver os vasos mesentéricos e assim tornar a alça envolvida particularmente suscetível a estrangulamento e gangrena, que resultam em perfuração, peritonite e sepse. As localizações clássicas de volvo do intestino grosso são o ceco e o cólon sigmoide, embora haja relatos de volvo do cólon transverso e da flexura esplênica. | |||

A volvulus is an abnormal twisting of the intestine around the axis of its own mesentery, resulting in obstruction of the more proximal bowel. Twisting of the mesentery may involve the mesenteric vessels and so make the involved loop particularly susceptible to strangulation and gangrene, with resulting perforation, peritonitis, and sepsis. The classical sites of large intestinal volvulus are the caecum and the sigmoid colon, although there are reports of volvulus of the transverse colon and the splenic flexure. | |||
