A recent experience with cecal volvulus of acute and chronic types is presented. The four cases were treated surgically by both reconstructive and extirpative means with equally good results. Early diagnosis and vigorous treatment are emphasized to avoid a high mortality rate in this condition.

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1990
A review of 561 cases of cecal volvulus that were published between 1959 and 1989 along with 7 new cases, was performed to characterize the clinical and laboratory profile and to evaluate the various surgical options in treating this life-threatening condition.

Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 1980
Volvulus of the cecum is very uncommon in children. Of 189 children operated upon from 1970-1977 for acute intestinal obstruction, in only six children, was cecal volvulus the cause. The etiology and treatment and factors affecting mortality are discussed.

Colonic volvulus is an important entity to consider in any pregnant patient with abdominal pain. X-ray and colonoscopy can be useful to obtain the earliest diagnosis, leading to surgical intervention if necessary. Limited use of x-rays with shielding of the fetus is of minimal risk and useful for early diagnosis of volvulus.

The Management of Cecal Volvulus
Diseases of the Colon & Rectum, 2002Cecal volvulus is second only to sigmoid volvulus in its frequency of occurrence. Diagnostic doubt is not uncommon in cecal volvulus; nonoperative decompression is rarely achievable; and if gangrene supervenes, mortality rises appreciably. Resection is mandatory for gangrene and a grossly distended, thin-walled cecum.

Cecal volvulus in a ewe was diagnosed and surgically treated. Clinical signs were similar to those observed in cattle with cecal volvulus. Rectal palpation, which is an important diagnostic aid in cattle, was not possible in the ewe. Thus, the decision for surgery was based on clinical signs indicative of gastrointestinal obstruction, with the ...

We reviewed the records of patients with cecal volvulus at three affiliated hospitals of Eastern Virginia Medical School to elucidate its incidence, patterns of presentation, and current methods of surgical management. We identified 109 patients in whom a discharge diagnosis of intestinal obstruction due to volvulus was made from 1966 to 1985.

Sixteen cases of acute cecal volvulus were retrospectively evaluated. A follow-up was obtained averaging 5.6 years. The average age of the 14 female and two male patients was 47 years. Sixty-two percent of the patients were younger than 50 years of age.

Cecal volvulus is a malrotational abnormality of the intestine that causes obstruction. Diagnosis is difficult and, if delayed, the results may be intestinal ischemia, perforation, sepsis, and even death. Cecal ischemia or gangrene cannot always be determined from physical and laboratory findings.

The cecum is the second most common site of colonic volvulus after the sigmoid. The mechanism is torsion or hyperflexion of the enlarged, poorly-fixed, and hypermobile cecum. It presents clinically as an acute bowel obstruction with strangulation.
