Cecal volvulus is a rare, but potentially fatal, cause of intestinal obstruction. As computed tomographic (CT) scanning is often the initial diagnostic test in patients with acute abdominal pain, we reiterate the importance of the "whirl sign" in diagnosing intestinal volvulus. We report the first description of the CT diagnosis of cecal volvulus.
盲肠扭转是一种罕见但可能致命的肠梗阻病因。由于计算机断层扫描(CT)通常是急性腹痛患者的初始诊断检查,我们重申“漩涡征”在诊断肠扭转中的重要性。我们报告了盲肠扭转CT诊断的首次描述。
