The dual location of strangulation constitutes a critical surgical emergency due to the heightened risk of intestinal necrosis and septic shock. Given the rarity of this condition, there is a notable paucity of detailed information in the literature, and the management strategies are poorly codified.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Observation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report the case of a 23-year-old man with a history of bowel transit disorders (diarrhea and constipation), who was admitted as an emergency with typical signs of acute large bowel obstruction. Initial diagnosis of sigmoid volvulus was retained; however, intraoperative findings revealed an associated volvulus of both the transverse and sigmoid colon. A left colectomy was performed followed by colorectal anastomosis.
