It can cause obstruction of intestinal circulation and partial or complete closure of the intestinal lumen to produce closed intestinal obstruction. The eigen mainly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, and it is most common in people over 45 years old, with a higher incidence in men than in women. Caecal torsion and transverse colon torsion are rare.
