Abstract
Sigmoid kolon, kişiye özel olarak, çeşitli uzunluklara, şekillere ve biçimlere sahiptir. Bu konuyla ilgili olarak, sigmoid kolonun gelişim bozukluklarının volvulus riskini ön görüp göremeyeceğine dair klinik çalışmalar bulunmaktadır. Bu yüzden sigmoid kolon ölçümü volvulus ihtimalini gösterebilmek için anlamlı olabilir. Bir çalışmada, karın ameliyatlarında sigmoid kolon ölçümleri yapılmıştır ve median kolon uzunluğu 47 cm ,median vertikal mesokolon uzunluğu 13 cm ölçülmüştür. Çalışmamızda 14 yaşında bir kız hastada sigmoid kolon median uzunluğu 54 cm ölçülmüştür. Bunun için tomografiden yararlanılmıştır. MR Görüntülemenin bu amaçla kullanıldığını ve sigmoid volvulus ön görüsü için herhangi bir MR verisi olmadığını biliyoruz. Bulgularımızın sigmoid elongasyonla ilgili yetersiz olan veriye katkı yapacağını umuyoruz.

Abstract
Sigmoid colons have various measurements, shapes, and configurations for individuals. In this subject there are rare clinical trials to answer the question of sigmoidal colon maldevelopment predicting a risk for volvulus. Therefore, sigmoid colon measurement may be beneficial to decide for volvulus. In a study, sigmoid colon diameters were evaluated during abdominal surgeries and it was found that median length was 47 cm and median vertical mesocolon length was 13 cm. We report a 14-year-old female patient who has a sigmoidal colon measured as nearly 54 cm. We used tomographic equipments for this evaluation. We know that MRI technique was used for this purpose but, there has not been data for MRI predicting the sigmoidal volvulus. We hope that our findings by this evaluation can contribute to insufficient literature of sigmoidal elongation.
