Le diagnostic du volvulus du grêle peut se faire en urgence devant un tableau d´occlusion intestinale aiguë, voire un état de choc ou devant des douleurs abdominales répétées associées souvent à des troubles du transit. C´est une complication redoutable du mésentère commun incomplet, qui est définie comme une anomalie de rotation du tube digestif très rare à l´âge adulte. Sa symptomatologie clinique est non spécifique, d´où l´intérêt de connaitre ses caractéristiques radiologiques surtout scannographiques, permettant ainsi une prise en charge thérapeutique précoce. Nous rapportons l´observation d´un patient de 65 ans admis pour volvulus total du grêle sur mésentère commun incomplet diagnostiqué par tomodensitométrie (TDM) abdominale et confirmé par l´exploration chirurgicale, et chez qui l´évolution était favorable.
