Cecal volvulus

Discussion:

Good plain film of cecal volvulus with CT correlation.

Main points of note - dilated large bowel loop but no distal large bowel dilatation and cecum is not visible in normal position in right lower quadrant, all together in keeping with cecal volvulus.

Useful to note cecal diameter as increasing diameter increases risk of perforation.

The patient proceeded to surgery for right hemicolectomy.
