Abstract：
Volvulus affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is one of the common causes of recurrent pain in the abdomen, and often, patients present with non-specific abdominal pain associated with nausea and/or vomiting. A high degree of suspicion is required at the clinician\'s end to suspect this diagnosis, which is usually confirmed by imaging using radiographs, fluoroscopic evaluation, and computed tomography. Familiarity of the clinician and radiologist with the imaging appearances of these emergent conditions on various imaging modalities is quintessential to avoiding life-threatening complications like bowel ischemia or perforation, which are associated with delayed or missed diagnosis. Our article describes the clinical features and classical imaging of the various types of volvulus affecting different bowel segments in the entire GI tract.
摘要：
影响胃肠道（GI）的扭转是腹部复发性疼痛的常见原因之一，而且经常,患者出现伴有恶心和/或呕吐的非特异性腹痛.在临床医生怀疑这种诊断需要高度怀疑，这通常通过射线照片成像来证实，荧光评估，和计算机断层扫描。临床医生和放射科医生熟悉这些紧急情况在各种成像模式下的成像表现是避免危及生命的并发症如肠缺血或穿孔的必要条件。与延误或漏诊有关。我们的文章介绍了影响整个胃肠道不同肠段的各种类型的肠扭转的临床特征和经典成像。
