Volvulus of the appendix secondary to appendicular mucocele.

A 44-year-old woman presented with appendicular volvulus secondary to an appendicular mucocele. Appendicular volvulus symptomatology is similar to that of acute appendicitis. Diagnosis is often interoperative. In the event of secondary volvulus, surgical procedure addresses the underlying pathology; in our case, it consisted in appendicectomy and mesoappendix resection.
