Coffee bean sign

Coffee bean sign

The coffee bean sign is a classic conventional radiographic finding of sigmoid volvulus. As the closed loop of the sigmoid colon distends with gas, apposition of the medial walls of the dilated bowel form the cleft of the coffee bean, while the lateral walls of the dilated bowel form the outer walls of the bean.
