摘　　要：The whirl sign refers to the computed tomography(CT)radiological finding of swirl of the small bowel and adjacent mesenteric soft tissue around the twisted mesenteric vessel.The whirl sign is highly specific for small bowel volvulus(SBV)and raises the suspicion of closed loop obstruction.Nearly all patients with whirl signs associated with small bowel obstruction(SBO)require operative intervention,and one study showed that patients with whirl signs are 25 times more likely to need surgery.
