Both cecal volvolus and Winslow hernia are rare clinical presentations accounting for 1-1.5 and 0.08% of bowel obstructions. The combination of the two phenomena has been described so far in 13 case reports. Our patient underwent laparotomy with lesser Sac opening, manual hernia reduction, right hemicolectomy and partial Foramen closure with two simple stitches of PDS 4.0. Due to the scarcity of literature guidelines are not available, the intraoperative state of the tissues and the likelihood of a hernia recurrence play a decisive role in surgical management.

Intestinal malrotation is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adults and it could create a perplexing situation for surgeons not familiar with this pediatric pathology. Symptomatic patients present either acutely with bowel obstruction and intestinal ischemia with a midgut or cecal volvolus, or chronically with vague abdominal pain. Several modalities can be used to describe the intestinal abnormality such as barium X-ray, computer tomography scans, angiography and sometimes also the explorative laparotomy.

A rare case of hemoperitoneum in a young man who performed a diagnostic colonoscopy is reported. The rupture of an epiploic appendix among rectum and colon sigma caused massive bleeding into the peritoneum cavity followed by haemorrhagic shock. Diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy has a low rate of morbility; perforation and bleeding are the most common events; hemoperitoneum following colonscopy is usually due to spleen rupture.
