摘要

The incidence of volvulus increases during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This condition can be challenging to diagnose and can lead to increased morbidity and mortality for both the mother and fetus. Recently, our center successfully treated a 33-year-old woman who developed transverse colon volvulus after normal delivery. After conducting a literature review, the case of volvulus occurring after normal delivery was rarely reported. Finally, the twisted mesocolon was restored by laparotomy, and the patient recovered well after the operation. This case report highlights the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment of this rare complication during the postpartum period. The key to successful treatment is minimizing delays in decision-making and ensuring timely surgery.
