Small bowel volvulus (SBV) is an uncommon case which the small intestine rotates around its own mesenteric axis. SBV generally occurs in newborns. We report the case of a 69-year-old man who has been coming with complaints of pain all over his abdomen, vomiting, no bowel movement, and flatus since 2 days ago. The patient underwent plain abdominal radiography and was found to have a high-lying obstructive ileus. The patient was treated with exploratory laparotomy surgery and found to have necrotic bowel sections. During the 5 days postoperative, the complaints improved.
