Introduction: We report the clinical observation of 2 cases of volvulus with sigmoid necrosis in children.
Observation: Two male patients, aged 12 and 15, were hospitalized with acute mechanical bowel obstruction. There was an asymmetric, motionless meteorism and rectal emptiness.
X-rays of the abdomen revealed an arch.
Laparotomy found volvulus with necrosis of the sigmoid colon.
The Hartmann-type colostomy and the ideal colectomy were the surgical procedures.
Conclusion: Sigmoid volvulus is a rare abdominal emergency in children and severe in the necrosis stage.
