A 31-year-old Japanese man presented with acute lower abdominal pain and vomiting. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed a 1440-degree clockwise torsion of superior mesenteric artery and a whirl sign. Intestinal volvulus in adulthood with a background of malrotation is extremely rare. Contrast-enhanced CT is effective for diagnosis.
