Caecal volvulus is an uncommon cause of large bowel obstruction, and the most appropriate management is still debatable. All of the ct scan signs above were interpreted as a mechanical occlusion on a caecal volvulus, with a significant caecal distension (10 cm maximum diameter) and signs of digestive. Patients with this condition may present with highly variable clinical.

Cecal volvulus (cv) is a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction caused by torsion or twisting of a mobile cecum and ascending colon. (see sigmoid volvulus and gastric volvulus in. Learn about its symptoms, causes, and treatments.
Early diagnosis and management are essential to prevent.
In a caecal volvulus, the base of the distended bowel loop arises from the right lateral abdomen or right lower quadrant, in contrast to a sigmoid volvulus where it arises from the pelvis. Caecal volvulus is an infrequently encountered clinical condition and an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. Cecal volvulus is a condition where the cecum twists, causing bowel obstruction and severe abdominal pain. It occurs when the cecum, which is between the small bowel and colon, detaches from the abdominal wall and twists on itself.
Types of gastrointestinal volvuli other than cecal volvulus, such as sigmoid volvulus or gastric volvulus, are discussed in detail elsewhere. Preoperative ct scan aids in definitive diagnosis. Early recognition and prompt treatment is key; Cecal volvulus is a rare form of intestinal obstruction.
However, due to the rarity of this pathology, it is seldom listed as a differential diagnosis.
