-*Uncommonly comes to pathology.
-*It is essentially a radiologic diagnosis.
-*In the context of [[autopsy]], it is a gross diagnosis.
-===Gross===
-*Intestine folded over itself - typically leads to ischemia.

-===Microscopic===
-Features:
-*+/-Ischemic changes and/or [[necrosis]].
-DDx - essentially anything that causes ischemia:
-*Embolus.
-*Thrombosis.
-*[[Vasculitis]].
-===Sign out===
-<pre>
-RECTOSIGMOID, RESECTION:
-- MURAL ISCHEMIA WITH PERFORATION, SEROSITIS, MICROABSCESS FORMATION AND POORLY FORMED PSEUDOMEMBRANES.
-- SUBMUCOSAL FIBROSIS.
-- NEGATIVE FOR MALIGNANCY.
-COMMENT:
-The findings are consistent with volvulus and the submucosal fibrosis suggests this may have been recurrent.
