Cecal volvulus is a rare condition, accounting for about 1-5 % of intestinal obstruction causes. It carries high morbidity and mortality unless diagnosed and managed early.
We present a case of 33 yrs. old male patient who initially presented with typical sign and symptoms of appendicitis but intraoperatively was found to have viable cecal volvulus.
Diagnosing cecal volvulus can be challenging because its presentation often mimics that of other causes of intestinal obstruction. Additional investigative modalities such as barium studies and CT scan are helpful in diagnosing the condition.
Cecal volvulus is a clear emergency that require urgent surgery. In our case presentation highlight unusual clinical presentation of cecal volvulus.

我们报告一例33岁男性患者,最初表现为典型的阑尾炎症状和体征,但术中发现为存活型盲肠扭转。
诊断盲肠扭转具有挑战性,因为其表现常与其他肠梗阻病因相似。钡剂造影和CT扫描等其他检查手段有助于诊断该病。
盲肠扭转是明确的急症,需要紧急手术。在我们的病例报告中突出了盲肠扭转不寻常的临床表现。
