초록

본 증례는 1년 전부터 갑작스럽게 복부팽만과 복통이 반복하다 내원 10일 전부터 심한 복통과 복부팽만, 구토가 발생하여 내원한 9세 남자 환자이다. 복부 X-선 촬영과 바륨 관장 등의 검사로 S상 결장 염전증을 진단하고 내시경적 염전 정복과 감압술 시도하였으나 실패하였다. 수술 시야에서 심하게 확장되고 비정상적으로 긴 S상 결장과 굵은 혈관이 포함된 결장간막이 관찰되었고 S상 결장의 원위부 및 근위부에서 좁아진 부위를 확인하여 이 부분을 포함한 S상 결장 절제술을 시행하였다. 이후 환자는 5년 동안의 추적관찰에서 증상의 재발이 없었다.

Sigmoid volvulus may cause acute or subacute colonic obstruction. Excessive length of the sigmoid colon may be a contributing factor. Typically, the patient develops bilious vomiting and marked gaseous abdominal distension. We report a case of sigmoid volvulus in a 9-year-old boy who presented with recurrent, sudden onset abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and vomiting for 1 year, which was diagnosed by simple abdominal X-ray, barium enema, computed tomography, and colonoscopic examination. Colonoscopic reduction failed and a sigmoid colectomy with primary repair was performed. The intra-operative findings showed that the sigmoid colon was noted to be dilated, and redundant with a lax mesentery. Two clear areas of compression (proximal and distal) were present. After sigmoidectomy, the symptoms resolved. After 5 years of follow-up, he had no new symptoms.
