Abstract
Large-bowel obstruction caused by volvulus is potentially life threatening if not managed promptly. Sigmoid colon is the most common site of volvulus followed by caecum. Synchronous double colonic volvulus is an exceedingly rare entity, with only five cases published previously. We present the case of a 77-year-old man with a synchronous sigmoid and caecal volvulus. He underwent total colectomy with ileostomy formation with a view to reverse the ileostomy at a later date.
