ABSTRACT

By the moment a third of the people around the world has been infected by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The tuberculosis seems a different kind of diseases, and in his variety of peritoneal attach has 0.7 to 2% of all the registered cases. It could be manifest as another abdominal pathology. In the other hand, the volvulus of the sigmoid constitute a pathology with different geography present, with a 0.2% of prevalence in the Occident and a 30% of mortality. The etiology is unknown but has relation with the anatomic variation, diet, chronic constipation, local inflammatory process, neurologic disease, postoperative adhesion, pregnancy, toxins, metabolic disease. We report a clinic case which this two diseases are present.
