Abstract

Background: Caecal volvulus accounts for 30% of all cases of volvulus of the colon.

Methods: We recorded clinical data and accurate images of volvulus of the cecum.

Results: A detorsion with resection and primary anastomosis was performed. We reviewed the management and surgical strategies for cecal volvulus.

Conclusions: Caecal volvulus is an uncommon entity with potentially severe outcomes and requires surgical management.
