| Popis: | The diagnosis of caecal volvulus is usually made when the patient presents as an emergency with an acute abdomen. Both plain abdominal films and a barium enema may be helpful in confirming the diagnosis. A detailed history will, in many cases, reveal previous episodes of similar but less severe pain and in those patients who have a barium enema examination between such attacks the study usually reveals no abnormality. The present report describes a patient in whom an initially normal barium enema produced a dramatic result at the end of the study. |
