Caecal volvulus is usually associated with a twisted caecum, seen to occupy the umbilical area or left hypochondrium on radiography. Caecal bascule refers to the form of volvulus in which the distended caecum is situated within the pelvis. The caecal bascule type of obstruction is uncommon, and clinical and radiological appearances may be confusing. Two cases are presented and the incidence, pathogenesis and radiological features are discussed.
盲肠扭转通常与盲肠扭曲有关，在X线检查中可见盲肠占据脐区或左季肋部。盲肠乙状结肠型扭转是指扩张的盲肠位于盆腔内的扭转形式。盲肠乙状结肠型梗阻并不常见，其临床和影像学表现可能令人困惑。本文报告两例病例，并讨论其发病率、发病机制和影像学特征。
