Summary
This observational study in Sohag, Egypt, will look at 40 people of any age who have a twisted sigmoid colon (sigmoid volvulus). The goal is to show that this condition can cause bowel blockages not only in older adults but also in younger people, helping doctors diagnose it earlier and avoid serious complications. No treatment is being tested.
