Abstract	:	Volvulus is a frequent condition in patient presenting in emergency department (ED) with abdominal pain. While cecal volvulus occurs more often in young patients, sigmoid volvulus is more common in elderly patients. We present the case of a frail patient with a large sigmoid volvulus.[West J Emerg Med. 2010; 11(4):400-401.]
