Dr. Parveen Kumar, Dr. J P S Shakya

Abstract :

 Volvulus describes a condition in which the bowel becomes twisted on its mesenteric axis, a situation that results in partial or complete obstruction of the bowel lumen and a variable impairment of its blood supply. The condition usually affects the colon, most commonly sigmoid and less frequently right colon and terminal ileum, called cecal volvulus. The objective of treatment in case of caecal volvulus is to avoid any complication such as gangrene, with resection if gangrene has already developed. Here we present a case report of  cecal volvulus presented to us in shock, who was resuscitated and resection of terminal ileum with ileostomy was done. Patient had concomitant mobile sigmoid colon
