Coffee bean sign - an abdominal plain film sign of sigmoid volvulus. The sigmoid colon has twisted on its mesentery becoming a distended closed loop projecting up and away from the left iliac fossa. The two inner bowel wall edges directly oppose each other simulating the central crevice of a coffee bean. This case also demonstrates
Rigler’s sign of free intraperitoneal gas indicating bowel perforation.
