Volvulus of cecum and ileo-ileal intussusception

Abstract

Background: A 55-year-old man without relevant medical history was admitted to the emergency department with painful abdominal cramps, vomiting, nausea, and absence of flatus. There was no altered bowel habit in the last months, no melena and no red blood loss per anum. Physical examination was normal except for lower abdominal tenderness and reduced bowel sounds. Laboratory findings were unremarkable. Conventional radiography of the abdomen was made, followed by MultiDetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) scan of the abdomen.

Rare combination of caecal volvulus with ileal intussusception after surgery

“…Our PubMed search identified only a single reported case of simultaneous intussusception and volvulus. 9 Our patient's X-ray findings revealed a markedly dilated colon, and we suspected colon volvulus; however we could not confirm the existence of caecal volvulus and intussusception until CT was performed. The axial and coronal CT views were very useful for the accurate diagnosis pre-surgery and for this patient's surgery.…”

“…There appears to be a very low probability that these two phenomena would overlap at the same time. Our PubMed search identified only a single reported case of simultaneous intussusception and volvulus 9 …”

Mesenteric rent, ileal volvulus and ileocolic intussusception in a 3-year-old large-white dry sow: A postmortem report

“…Mesenteric rent, volvulus, and incarceration or intussusception have not been reported in the same necropsy case in swine. Weygaerde et al (2014) published a case of volvulus and intussusception while Catalano et al (2004) published a case report of volvulus, intussusception, and entrapment in a horse. Gross Pathological examination allows visualization of visceral and organ topography and allows the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction to be made.…”
