The objective of this case report is to highlight the importance of considering volvulus as a differential diagnosis in patients with a history of colonic surgeries, particularly when presenting with symptoms indicative of bowel obstruction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The case was a 55 years old male patient who underwent Hartman procedure three years back for an indication of gangrenous sigmoid volvulus. Three months later the colostomy was reversed and descending colo-rectal end-to-end anastomosis was performed. He currently presented to the emergency department with a one day history of abdominal distension which was progressive and associated with colicky persistent abdominal pain. Exploratory laparotomy was done which showed the descending colon was massively dilated and twisted 360 degree in the counterclockwise direction. The patient was discharged from the ward after one week stay.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite of the fact that volvulus is the third most common cause of bowel obstruction, consecutive bowel obstruction secondary to volvulus at a separate time and site is an extremely rare phenomenon.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A metachronous colonic volvulus is an extremely rare clinical entity.
