Spontaneous transverse colon volvulus in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: An unreported complication.

A 22-year-old male patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and chronic constipation presents to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain and hive closed to feces and gas. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen demonstrates mechanical ileus due to volvulus of the transverse colon: torsion of the transverse mesocolon is confirmed and subtotaly colectomy is performed, revealing multiple ischemic areas with focal perforations. DMD is frequently associated with gastrointestinal motility disorders, including chronic constipation and life-threatening conditions like intestinal pseudo-obstruction and sigmoid volvulus.

Simultaneous pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum as a late consequence of traumatic injury of the diaphragm: Multimodality imaging approach with surgical correlation and treatment.

Simultaneous occurrence of pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum is a rare event, usually related to traumas or surgical procedures involving the diaphragm. However, clinicians should be aware of the possible onset of these two clinical conditions even in patients without a recent clinical history that can clearly explain them. Cross-sectional imaging techniques are of great importance, providing crucial information about the patient's clinical status and guiding the following patient management.
