Abstract
Cecal volvulus is a rare, potentially life-threatening cause of large bowel obstruction (LBO). Discerning LBO in the background of chronic episodes of epigastric or abdominal pain ensures timely treatment and reduces the risk of complications. Atypical demographic presentation may pose a clinical danger that can be best avoided with standardized diagnostic imaging. We report a case of cecal volvulus in a male patient with a history of alcohol use disorder and pancreatitis. The patient underwent a right hemicolectomy with small bowel resection and primary anastomosis.
