Abstract
• Only two cases of transverse colon volvulus in the pediatric age group are reported in the literature. We are reporting two additional cases. We suggest that predisposing abnormalities include a redundant transverse colon, an elongated mesocolon, and close attachment or lack of fixation of the proximal and distal parts of the transverse colon. Other intestinal abnormalities may occur later. (Arch Surg 111:90, 1976)Keywords
