Summary: Small bowel volvulus (SBV) is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, specifically in adults, accounting for approximately 1% of bowel obstruction in the adult population in North America. It is more common in the neonatal and paediatric population, mostly due to congenital abnormalities such as malrotation, atresia and congenital bands. We present two cases of SBV managed at a level 2 provincial hospital within a 2-month period. In the first case no primary cause could be found and in the second case adhesions following midline laparotomy resulted in SBV.
