Most patients with colonic interpositions are asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally by computed tomography or ultrasound. Here we present a case of a symptomatic restrogastric colon, interposing kinked between stomach and pancreas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 66-year old female patient presented with an eight-year history of intermittent spastic bowel movements, epigastralgia and nausea. Consecutively, the patient lost 12 kg. Physical examination was unremarkable and routine blood tests were within normal limits. Subsequently performed colonoscopy and cross-sectional imaging diagnosed a retrogastric colon. Finally, the patient underwent surgical treatment. The intraoperative findings were consistent with the computed tomography images and showed a kinked retrogastric protrusion of the transverse colon into the lesser sac, adhering to both, the posterior wall of the stomach, and the anterior surface of the pancreas. After adhesiolysis and mobilization, the transverse colon slipped back to the normal position within the abdominal cavity. The patient recovered well after surgery and was discharged on the sixth postoperative day. Six-month follow-up revealed cured bowel function, weight regain and no signs of recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion &amp; conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These rare cases of intestinal interpositions are very often difficult to diagnose, as symptoms are misleading.
