It occurs when the cecum, terminal ileum, and ascending right colon twist around an axis, which leads to obstruction, ischemia, and possible gangrene. We report a rare case of early postcesarean gangrenous ileocecal volvulus in a 21\u2010year\u2010old mother, just two days after an emergency cesarean section. The patient showed right\u2010sided abdominal swelling, pain, vomiting, and absence of bowel movements. Imaging showed dilated bowel loops with air\u2013fluid levels, indicating a small\u2010bowel obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy confirmed a 540\u00b0 clockwise ileocecal volvulus with gangrenous changes, requiring resection and double\u2010barrel ileocolostomy. The patient had a smooth recovery after the surgery. This case highlights the need to be alert for cecal volvulus in postpartum women who have sudden abdominal distention following a cesarean delivery, as early identification and quick surgical intervention are essential to avoid serious complications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ccr3.72726","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,19]],"date-time":"2026-05-19T04:00:37Z","timestamp":1779163237000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Early Post\u2013cesarean Section Gangrenous Ileocecal Volvulus in a Primigravida: A Rare Postpartum Complication Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-4716-6111","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anteneh Girma","family":"Mengistu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Tikur Anbessa Hospital  Addis Ababa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-6128-332X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nathanael Elias","family":"Temesgen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Tikur Anbessa Hospital  Addis Ababa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-8212-7883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Selamawit Kassahun","family":"Aweke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Tikur Anbessa Hospital  Addis Ababa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-0348-7386","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Natnael Mathewos","family":"Assale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Tikur Anbessa Hospital  Addis Ababa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-3837-8227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bemnet Ashenafi","family":"Kebede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences, Tikur Anbessa Hospital  Addis Ababa Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4240\/wjgs.v17.i6.107151"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2021.106461","article-title":"Cecal Volvulus: A Rare Post\u2010Partum Complication","volume":"87","author":"Ferjaoui M.
