Abstract
Intestinal obstruction in pregnancy is uncommon, but is associated with significant maternal and fetal mortality. The delay in diagnosis is due to nonspecific symptoms and a disinclination to carry out radiological investigations in pregnancy.We report a rare case of transverse colon volvulus due to malrotation of gut leading to intestinal obstruction in early pregnancy.Surgical intervention was done and the patient had a successful recovery.With this case we would like to emphasize the need for thorough investigations and clinical suspicion of rare causes of acute abdomen in pregnancy.
