This torsion impedes venous outflow and causes venous congestion, edema, and infarct. Although signs and symptoms can be non-specific, the classic finding is sudden, right-sided onset of pain that is constant but of fairly short duration.

An excellent book, written from a wife’s viewpoint, about caring for her husband who developed multi-infarct dementia, is A Glass Full of Tears: Dementia Day-By-Day.  Written by novelist June Lund Shiplett, this personal diary account gives you insight into what happens to a marriage when this or similar disease strikes one of the partners. You’ll realize you’re not alone as you read June’s day-by-day account.
