Cecal volvulus is a very rare cause of large bowel obstruction (LBO) that develops when a part of the bowel twists around the mesentery. Cases of acute abdomen, regardless of age, race, and ethnicity, should be examined to exclude volvulus from differential diagnoses. Surgery is the only confirmatory method to diagnose and treat this life-threatening condition. Here, we report a case of a 35-year-old female patient who presented with abdominal pain, distension, constipation, and vomiting. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) aided in accurately diagnosing the cecal volvulus, and the patient immediately underwent an exploratory laparotomy.
盲肠扭转是一种非常罕见的大肠梗阻（LBO）病因，它是在肠道的一部分围绕肠系膜扭转时发生的。无论年龄、种族和民族如何，对于急腹症病例都应进行检查，以在鉴别诊断中排除扭转。手术是诊断和治疗这种危及生命状况的唯一确诊方法。在此，我们报告一例35岁女性患者，她出现腹痛、腹胀、便秘和呕吐症状。腹部计算机断层扫描（CT）有助于准确诊断盲肠扭转，该患者随即接受了剖腹探查术。
