Cecal volvulus in malrotation: a rare postpartum complication—a case report

A cecal volvulus in malrotation in a postpartum patient is an infrequent clinical entity. We present a case of a 24-year-old male patient with cecal volvulus in malrotation. The patient underwent counterclockwise detorsion, division of Ladd's bands, right hemicolectomy with end ileostomy, transverse colopexy, and early ileostomy reversal. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing these rare conditions.

Abstract

A cecal volvulus in malrotation in a postpartum patient is an infrequent clinical entity. We present a case of a 24-year-old male patient with cecal volvulus in malrotation. The patient underwent counterclockwise detorsion, division of Ladd's bands, right hemicolectomy with end ileostomy, transverse colopexy, and early ileostomy reversal. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing these rare conditions.
