Objetivos:  Describir las características clínicas de un caso de oclusión intestinal por vólvulo de íleon.  Caso clínico: Paciente masculino de 63 años, con antecedentes de etilismo y pancreatitis crónica, para lo cual no llevaba tratamiento regular. Acudió al cuerpo de guardia por dolor abdominal de aproximadamente 24 horas de evolución. Presentó dos vómitos con restos alimentarios, sin fiebre u otros síntomas de interés. Semiotécnicamente el dolor era mantenido, difuso en todo el abdomen, intenso, punzante, no se aliviaba con analgésicos, sin otros síntomas acompañantes. Se realizaron estudios de laboratorio e imagenológicos, los resultados fueron sugerentes de un síndrome oclusivo y/o perforativo. Se decidió tratamiento quirúrgico, se diagnosticó una oclusión intestinal por vólvulo de íleon.  Conclusiones:  El diagnóstico del vólvulo de intestino delgado, requiere un alto índice de sospecha, debido a lo infrecuente en el adulto. Los hallazgos de imagen son de utilidad en el diagnóstico temprano. El tratamiento es eminentemente quirúrgico; se impone la resección intestinal del segmento afectado siempre que el tejido intestinal no sea viable.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT  Introduction:  Mechanical intestinal occlusion is a common disease in surgical services, however small bowel volvulus is one of its rare causes.  Objectives:  To describe the clinical characteristics of a case of intestinal occlusion due to ileum volvulus.  Clinical case:  A 63-year-old male patient, with a history of ethylism and chronic pancreatitis, for which he did not have regular treatment. He went to emergency due to abdominal pain of approximately 24 hours of evolution. He presented two vomits with food debris, without fever or other symptoms of interest. Semiotechnically the pain was maintained, diffuse throughout the abdomen, intense, stabbing, it was not relieved with analgesics. No other accompanying symptoms. Laboratory and imaging studies were performed, the results were suggestive of an occlusive and/or perforative syndrome. Surgical treatment was decided, an intestinal occlusion was diagnosed by ileum volvulus.  Conclusions:  The diagnosis of the small intestine volvulus requires a high index of suspicion, due to the infrequent occurrence in the adult. Image findings are useful in early diagnosis. The treatment is eminently surgical; Intestinal resection of the affected segment is imposed as long as the intestinal tissue is not viable.]]></p></abstract>
