The authors report five cases of volvulus of the right side of the colon, including 3 with complications, which required segmental colonic resection. They recall the diagnostic and therapeutic problems, emphasising the interest of barium enema, the necessity of early diagnosis, the high level of mortality and the treatment of choice which is right hemicolectomy.
