Overview

Common risk factors in the development of volvulus include pregnancy, chronic constipation, age over 50, and long sigmoid colon and mesentery.

Risk Factors

Common risk factors in the development of volvulus include:[1][2][3][4]

  • Age more than 50 years old
  • Intestinal malrotation
  • Pregnancy
  • Abdominal adhesions
  • Chronic constipation
  • Long mesentery and sigmoid colon

Less common risk factors in the development of volvulus include:

  • Dilated colon
  • Colonic dysmotility
  • Laxative dependence
  • Hirschsprung disease

  • Chagas disease
  • Paraesophageal hernia
  • Hiatal hernia
  • Diaphragm eventration
