- Abstract
The article reports a case of intestinal obstruction due to a cecal volvulus. Intestinal volvulus is characterized by abnormal twisting or rotation of the intestine, causing obstruction. Risk factors associated with cecal volvulus include chronic constipation, high-fiber diets, and the use of psychotropic drugs. Diagnosis is made through imaging exams, such as computed tomography, and treatment usually involves surgical intervention. The objective of the article is to report a case of cecal volvulus to increase early diagnosis and initiate treatment sooner.
