abstract={A 17-year-old male patient with chronic intestinal idiopathic pseudo-obstruction was admitted to the emergency department clinically deteriorated due to sigmoid volvulus. Initial resuscitative efforts followed by endoscopy failed to detorse and decompress the bowel. At the followed emergency laparotomy the volvulus was derotated and a Hartmann¡¯s procedure with left hemicolectomy was performed. The patient after 3 months underwent stoma closure. At one-year follow-up the patient showed clinical improvement.},
