Midgut Volvulus on an Octogenarian Male: A Case Report

Midgut volvulus is a rare incidence in adults, especially in octogenarians. More unlikely is to find a midgut volvulus without necrosis or the need to do bowel resection when the volvulus is found within an internal hernia due to a mesenteric defect. No case has been reported with our unusual presentation, making it a rare and challenging discovery. We describe the case of an 83-year-old male who presented with nonspecific symptoms and was found to have a midgut volvulus with an internal hernia through a mesenteric defect, which had a successful recovery at the end.
