Sigmoid volvulus
Scout film shows a dilated loop of bowel in the left lower quadrant with a "coffee bean" appearance
suggesting a sigmoid volvulus.CT shows dilated sigmoid colon , with proximal and distal transition points in close proximity, with swirling of mesenteric vessels as you scroll through the coronal images. Findings are consistent with sigmoid volvulus.
