%X Introduction: Sigmoid colon volvulus is a
medico-surgical emergency which represents a common cause of colonic occlusion, it is characterized
by strangulation of the sigmoid loop around its meso colic axis producing low
mechanical occlusion [1]. Apart from this form conventionally described, the volvulus of the
sigmoid colon can occur along an organoaxial axis. This form has been
highlighted in the literature thanks to the diagnostic contribution of
multi-detector scanners [2]. Objective: To determine the hospital frequency of sigmoid colon volvulus; to write the
clinical and para-clinical aspects of sigmoid colon volvulus; write down the
different treatments used for the management of sigmoid colon volvulus. Material
and methods: This was a retrospective and prospective study that
took place from January 2008 to December 2020 in the General Surgery Department
of Gabriel Tour¨¦. The retrospective
