Transverse colon volvulus in a young patient with wandering liver.

We present the case of a 26-year-old male patient with no history of interest who consulted the emergency department due to occlusive symptoms. Urgent CT showed the presence of a transverse colonic volvulus in the context of a heterotopic liver, located in the left hypochondrium. There were no clinical or radiological signs of perforation or ischemia, so urgent endoscopic decompression was performed with subsequent elective surgery with a favorable resolution of the condition.

IBD or strongyloidiasis?

Introduction: Strongyloides has been shown to infrequently mimic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or to disseminate when a patient with IBD and unrecognized strongyloides is treated with immunosupression.

Case Report: A man from Ecuador, living in Spain for years, with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus and psoriasis treated with topical corticosteroids, was admitted to the hospital with an 8-month history of diarrhoea. Blood tests showed hyperglycemia, hyponatremia, elevated CRP and faecal calprotectin.
