Redundant colon: Describes a large intestine longer than normal with repetitive, overlapping loops. This is a normal anatomic variation that causes no symptoms and needs no treatment. It may be discovered by x-ray done for other reasons. Rarely, it causes a serious complication if it twists around itself (volvulus).
