dc.description | A clinical report of children afflicted with sigmoid volvulus in Nigeria. | en |
dc.description.abstract | The common understanding of sigmoid volvulus is that it affects the elderly. This belief was modified recently by Slurzaker [ et al ] who pointed out that the diagnosis may be missed in young people in Britain. However, the youngest patient in his series of nine patients was aged 19 years.
This is a report of two Nigerian children, seven and five years old with sigmoid volvulus. | en |
