Article Synopsis
- Small intestine volvulus is more common in younger children and is difficult to diagnose in older children and adults; prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial for positive outcomes.
- An unusual case is presented of an 11-year-old Nigerian boy who initially only showed signs of anasarca, but later developed acute abdominal symptoms leading to a diagnosis of small intestine volvulus after surgery.
- The case highlights that anasarca could potentially be the first indicator of small intestine volvulus, suggesting the need for careful evaluation in such cases.*
