Complete common mesentery revealed by a cecal bascule: Two case reports
Complete common mesentery is a rare anomaly that can lead to serious complications, including cecal volvulus. Diagnosing this condition via abdominal CT scan can be challenging due to the modified radiological anatomy. Surgeons and radiologists must recognize this pathology. Even less experienced visceral surgeons must be aware and should remain vigilant, as one emergency can hide another.
