A twisted colon, medically known as colonic volvulus, is a condition in which certain portions of the colon become twisted onto itself. This causes the blood flow in the area to become restricted and also causes gas and fluid to accumulate in the region.
Background. The term volvulus is derived from the Latin word volvere (âto twistâ). A colonic volvulus occurs when a part of the colon twists on its mesentery, resulting in acute, subacute, or chronic colonic obstruction. The main types of colonic volvulus are sigmoid volvulus and cecal volvulus.he term volvulus is derived from the Latin word volvere (âto twistâ).
