  Abdominal pain is a common admission in paediatric emergencies. Intestinal obstruction is an unusual cause of abdominal pain in children but is a serious condition and an urgent treatment is needed. An early diagnose could avoid complications such as intestinal perforation, peritonitis and sepsis. 
  We report a case of a 14 year old boy who was admitted with abdominal pain, constipation for 7 days and vomiting during the last 12 hours. Examination showed a boy clinically affected, with abdominal distension, hipogastric pain and absence of stool in the rectum. The abdominal X-ray exam showed a "coffee bean sign" and a sigmoid colon volvulus was suspected. Endoscopic decompression was performed with symptoms resolution.
