Abstract

Objective: Diagnosis of small bowel volvulus is challenging. Early and accurate diagnosis is important for prevention of bowel necrosis, and for reducing morbidity and mortality. In this report, we aimed to present seven cases with small intestine volvulus who were admitted to the emergency department and to discuss this condition with the literature. Methods: Seven patients who were admitted with acute abdominal and/ or intestinal obstruction and diagnosed with small bowel volvulus during 2007-2012 were evaluated for demographics, physical examinations, laboratory tests, operation findings, and outcome. Results: Massive bowel resections were needed in two patients at surgery. In one of these patients, no underlying abnormality was found, ending with mortality in the intensive care unit. In the other patient, the cause of volvulus was adhesions. This patient was admitted into the intensive care unit for 15 days. In the remaining patients, the cause of volvulus was Meckel's diverticulum in five patients and adhesions in three patients. Conclusion: Diagnosis of small bowel volvulus is a challenging situation. Generally, the diagnosis is made during emergency laparotomy due to acute abdomen or intestinal obstruction. Because of this challenging condition, massive bowel resection is required in some cases. Early diagnosis and treatment of small bowel volvulus are the most important factors in decreasing mortality and morbidity.

Özet

Amaç: İnce barsak volvulusunda (İBV) tanı koymak zor olabilmektedir, bu nedenle erken ve doğru tanı koyarak barsak nekrozunu önlemek ve bu sayede mortalite ve morbiditeyi azaltmak önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, Acil servise başvuran ve İBV olduğu tespit edilen olguların analizi ve literatür eşliğinde sunumu amaçlandı. Yöntemler: Akut karın ve/veya intestinal obstrüksiyon nedeniyle 2007- 2012 yılları arasında opere ettiğimiz olgulardan; İBV tanısı alan yedi hastanın yaşı, fizik muayene, laboratuar, radyoloji, operasyon bulguları ve sonuçları incelendi. Bulgular: Geniş ince barsak rezeksiyonu iki hastamızda gerek duyuldu. Bunlardan birisinde altta yatan neden bulunamazken diğeri adezyonlara bağlı idi. Her iki hastamızda acil servise şikayetlerin başlamasından 12-24 saat sonra gelmişti. Bir hasta yoğun bakımda ex olurken diğeri yandaş hastalıkları nedeniyle 15 gün yoğun bakımda kaldı. Diğer beş hastamızdan ikisinde Meckel Divertikülü, üçünde ise adezyonlara bağlı volvulus saptandı. Sonuç: Preoperatif olarak İBV tanısının belirlenmesi güçtür. Genelde bu tür vakalar, akut karın veya akut mekanik intestinal obstrüksiyon nedeniyle opere edilip kesin tanı laparotomi esnasında konulur. Bu yüzden tanının konulmasındaki gecikme geniş rezeksiyonlara varabilen sonuçlar doğurabileceğinden İBV'li olgularda dikkatli olunmalıdır. Erken tanı ve tedavi İBV'nin morbidite ve mortalitesini azaltan en önemli faktördür.
