Twist of fate: Resolving cecal volvulus with timely surgical intervention in a middle-aged female.

Introduction And Importance: Cecal volvulus is an uncommon cause of large bowel obstruction that typically presents in older adults with a history of chronic constipation or prior abdominal surgery. However, this report documents a rare and atypical case of cecal volvulus presenting in a middle-aged female with no significant past medical or surgical history. This case also highlights the benefits of adopting a synergistic approach between a physician's clinical judgment and the patient's presentation when making a diagnosis to ensure timely interventions and prevent life-threatening complications.

Endometriosis of the Colon and Pericolic Lymph Nodes Presenting as Cecal Volvulus.

Endometriosis, characterized by the ectopic implantation of endometrial tissue, typically involves pelvic structures but infrequently extends to extrapelvic sites such as the gastrointestinal tract. In this report, we present a case of a 44-year-old woman with diffuse abdominal discomfort and constipation. Computed tomography imaging revealed a mass in the cecum, leading to diagnostic colonoscopy and subsequent magnetic resonance imaging.

Presentations of Waugh's syndrome:intra-luminal cecal cyst and trans-anal prolapsing intussusception: a case report.

Background: Intussusception with intestinal malrotation is termed as Waugh's syndrome. The incidence of Waugh's syndrome is less than 1%. There are very few reported cases.

Robot-Assisted Surgery for Reversed Intestinal Malrotation with Concurrent Cecal Carcinoma: A Case Report.

BACKGROUND Reversed intestinal malrotation is an extremely rare disease, with an incidence of 1 in 250 000. In Japan, application of robotic-assisted colorectal cancer surgery is expected to increase. There are no reports of robot-assisted surgery for cecal cancer with reversed intestinal malrotation.

A Rare Case of Delayed Presentation of Acute Midgut Volvulus in an Adolescent.

Intestinal malrotation is primarily diagnosed in the neonatal period, when symptoms typically first appear. In contrast, occurrences in adults are quite uncommon. Adult cases are less frequently reported, often because the condition remains asymptomatic or presents with nonspecific symptoms that can delay diagnosis.

Left-sided appendicitis managed laparoscopically: a case report.

Background: Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain and remains the most common abdominal-related emergency seen in emergency room that needs urgent surgery (Yang et al. in J Emerg Med 43:980-2, 2012. 10.

Evaluation of 18 CT signs in diagnosing cecal volvulus: a multi-reader retrospective study.

Purpose: To assess the diagnostic performance and reliability of 18 CT signs to diagnose cecal volvulus, a surgical emergency, versus a group of non-volvulus mimickers.

Materials And Methods: Four radiologists retrospectively and independently assessed 18 CT signs in 191 patients with cecal volvulus (n = 63) or a non-volvulus control group ((n = 128), including cecal bascule (n = 19), mobile cecum (n = 95), and colonic pseudo-obstruction (n = 14)) at a single institution from 2013 to 2021. Fleiss' kappa coefficient was used to assess inter-reader agreement.

Cecal Volvulus: A Report of a Challenging Case.

Cecal volvulus represents a rare form of acute intestinal obstruction caused by an axial twist of the terminal ileum, ascending colon, and cecum surrounding the mesenteric pedicle. It is responsible for 1%-1.5% of all intestinal obstruction cases in adults.
