SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Repeat visits to an emergency department (ED) within a short period of time for recurring or continuing abdominal pain should make physicians suspicious for relapsing or episodic disease processes. I present a case of a 17-year-old female with cecal volvulus found only after multiple ED visits. [West J Emerg Med. 2010; 11(2):202-204.]
