Bowel Obstruction Associated with Dolichocolon

Saavedra Asencios Jimena*

Background: Dolicocolon is an elongation of the colon at the level of any segment, but since it is uncommon, it does not have extensive literature.

Case presentation: A 68-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with nausea and vomiting, with no other symptoms found. With the help of imaging tests, bowel obstruction was detected due to sigmoid dolichocolon.

Conclusion: The case we describe is relevant as it is a rare clinical entity, such as dolichocolon which is associated with bowel obstruction, which is considered a risk factor for its development.
