Physical examination showed a generalized abdominal tenderness with no rigidity or rebound tenderness, associated with abdominal distension and tympanic upon percussion. Laboratory findings were within normal limits.<\/ns4:p>\n                  <ns4:p>An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed distension of a loop of the large bowel with its long axis extending from the right lower quadrant to the epigastrium or left upper quadrant. Colonic haustral pattern was absent. An abdominal computed tomography scan showed a rounded focal collection of air-distended bowel with haustral creases in the upper left quadrant. In addition, spiraled loops of the collapsed cecum (giving a whirl sign) were noted, along with low-attenuating fatty mesentery from the twisted bowel.<\/ns4:p>\n                  <ns4:p>The patient underwent an emergency laparotomy and caecectomy using GEA 80 charges. The patient had no complaints post-operation.<\/ns4:p>\n                  <ns4:p>CV is a rare cause of bowel obstruction, mainly caused by an exceedingly mobile caecum. Despite its rareness, CV represents the second most common cause of large bowel volvulus, behind sigmoid volvulus. For acute obstruction by CV, it is hard to differentiate it clinically from obstruction of the small bowel; therefore, radiological exams are needed. Surgery is the gold standard treatment for CV.<\/ns4:p>\n                  <ns4:p>We report a rare case of CV to highlight the rarity of this pathology, specify its diagnostic and therapeutic means, and its clinical and biological evolution.<\/ns4:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.121789.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]],"date-time":"2022-11-02T12:01:03Z","timestamp":1667390463000},"page":"781","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Case Report: Caecal volvulus management from diagnosis to treatment in a young patient"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4802-2132","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Imed","family":"Abbassi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wissem","family":"Triki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8565-1483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Racem","family":"Trigui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ramy","family":"Ben Salah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3263-4070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed","family":"Itaimi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karim","family":"Ayed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hajer","family":"Sebri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Oussema","family":"Baraket","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sami","family":"Bouchoucha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"211-213","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjsurg.2004.11.004","article-title":"Operative therapy for cecal volvulus combining resection with colopexy.","volume":"189","author":"J Majeski","year":"f\u00e9vr. 2005","journal-title":"Am.
