Post Cesarean Section Caecal Volvulus: Case Report And Literature Review.

Abstract

Caecal volvulus is a rare, but potentially fatal cause of intestinal obstruction. Accurate diagnosis is vital as delay in the surgical treatment of this condition may lead to an increased incidence of gangrene of the caecum and a higher mortality. We report a case of caecal volvolus in a 43 years old female who presented with small bowel obstruction 10 days after a cesarean section. We also review the literature for the clinical and radiological features of the condition.
