According to the per operation findings, the treatment consists of a de-rotation with or without cecopexy. We present the three cases of caecum volvulus in children and discuss our management. Case 1: 11-year-old girl admitted for caecal volvulus in an acute occlusive syndrome picture. There was caecal volvulus and atresia of the volvulated area. We performed resection and end-to-end anastomosis. Good evolution. Case 2: 6-year-old girl admitted for caecal volvulus in an acute occlusive syndrome picture. We performed caecopexy at the right parietal-colic gutter by three interrupted stitches. Good evolution. Case 3: 6-year-old girl admitted for caecal volvulus in an acute sub-occlusive syndrome picture with hypovolemic choc stage. There were suffering areas and necrosis of the caecum, a part of the ascending colon and il\u00e9al loops. We resected the gangrene part of the digest if tract and performed end-to-end ileocolic anastomosis. Good evolution. Caecal volvulus is rare. In our series, a patient had an ultrasound diagnosis. The diagnosis of caecum volvulus was made by computed tomography scan to the second one. The third patient had a perioperative diagnosis which is frequently reported in the literature. Management varies from the simple de-rotation with appendectomy to caecopexy. Caecal volvulus is a therapeutic emergency because the risk of necrosis and perforation is obvious. With proper support, the overall evolution is good.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.ajps_27_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,20]],"date-time":"2023-01-20T01:02:03Z","timestamp":1674176523000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Caecal Volvulus"],"prefix":"10.67481","author":[{"given":"Benmassaoud","family":"Zineb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fatoumata Binta","family":"Bald\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Othmane","family":"Alaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdelhalim","family":"Mahmoudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Khalid","family":"Khattala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youssef","family":"Bouabdallah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":null,"reference":[{"key":"R1-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"30","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2019.10.008","article-title":"Cecal volvulus in a child with congenital dilated cardiomyopathy:A case report","volume":"66","author":"Shehata","year":"2020","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"R2-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"183","DOI":"10.1272\/jnms.JNMS.2019_86-308","article-title":"Recurrent bowel obstruction caused by Cecal Volvulus:A case report","volume":"86","author":"Miyao","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Nippon Med Sch"},{"key":"R3-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"162","DOI":"10.11604\/pamj.2017.28.162.12237","article-title":"Volvulus of the cecum:A rare cause of intestinal occlusion:About two cases","volume":"28","author":"Mazine","year":"2017","journal-title":"Pan Afr Med J"},{"key":"R4-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1062","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpedsurg.2017.01.063","article-title":"Pediatric colonic volvulus:A single-institution experience and review","volume":"52","author":"Tannouri","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Pediatr Surg"},{"key":"R5-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174","DOI":"10.4103\/ajps.AJPS_43_20","article-title":"Cecal volvulus in children","volume":"18","author":"Saiad","year":"2021","journal-title":"Afr J Paediatr Surg"},{"key":"R6-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"264","DOI":"10.1007\/s10350-004-6158-4","article-title":"The management of cecal volvulus","volume":"45","author":"Madiba","year":"2002","journal-title":"Dis Colon Rectum"},{"key":"R7-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1011","DOI":"10.1007\/s00383-007-1987-6","article-title":"Cecal volvulus in children with mental disability","volume":"23","author":"Takada","year":"2007","journal-title":"Pediatr Surg Int"},{"key":"R8-20231113","first-page":"r-222247","article-title":"Caecal volvulus with intestinal malrotation:Need for caecopexy?","volume":"2017","author":"Yadav","year":"2017","journal-title":"BMJ Case Rep"},{"key":"R9-20231113","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1241","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arcped.2005.02.015","article-title":"Cecal volvulus:A case report in a child","volume":"12","author":"Housni","year":"2005","journal-title":"Arch Pediatr"}],"container-title":["African Journal of Paediatric Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_27_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,2]],"date-time":"2026-07-02T00:49:46Z","timestamp":1782953386000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_27_22"}},"subtitle":["About Three Paediatrics Cases"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]]},"references-count":9,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/ajps.ajps_27_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["0189-6725"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0189-6725","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,19]]}}}
