Colonic volvulus is an uncommon, often life‐threatening condition, in non‐human primates. Twenty‐six cases of colonic volvulus in rhesus macaques ( Macaca mulatta ) were identified in necropsy records spanning 38 years at the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC). This report represents the largest collection of colonic volvuli in rhesus macaques.
