Een vrouw met intermitterende buikpijnklachten

This case concerns an older woman with severe colicky pain in the lower right abdomen with vomiting. She had experienced more mild episodes of this pain before. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a whirl sign. This sign is suggestive of a volvulus, in this case of the ileum. After surgery she was complaint-free.
