Aetiology
Precipitating factors include:
- an abnormally mobile intestinal loop e.g. congenital malrotation of small intestine, or a particularly long sigmoid colon
- an abnormally loaded loop of bowel - may occur in the pelvic colon in chronic constipation
- adhesions fixing a loop of bowel to its apex
- an abnormally narrow base for a loop of bowel
- rarely as a result of duplication cysts
