“…Six cases of Cornelia de Lange syndrome in the English literature and the present case developed cecal volvulus [7][8][9][10][11]. We must also be aware that neurologycally disabled patients such as patients with trisomy 18 or cerebral palsy may suffer from cecal volvulus as well [6,11]. Moreover, we must remember that cecal volvulus occurred in some cases that had undergone operative fundoplication.…”

We report a case of cecal volvulus in an 11-year-old girl who had been diagnosed with Cornelia de Lange syndrome. She had undergone operative fundoplication several years earlier and was referred to our institute for treatment of intestinal obstruction. A severely dilated colon was detected on abdominal roentgenogram, and abdominal CT and colonic enema strongly suggested cecal volvulus. Emergency operation was performed and cecal volvulus with mobile cecum was ascertained; the volvulus was corrected and the mobile cecum was fixed to the peritoneum on the right side. Neurologically handicapped patients sometimes suffer from cecal volvulus, and patients with Cornelia de Lange syndrome are at especially high risk. Moreover, operative fundoplication promotes intestinal dilatation and it may be another risk factor for cecal volvulus.

“…However, this is an unusual complication because post-operative adhesions and intussusception have been reported as the most common causes of intestinal obstruction following nephrectomy [9]. Children who have developmental delays and chromosomal disorders such as trisomy 17 are also at risk of having CV [10].…”

Introduction: Cecal volvulus (CV) is rare cause of intestinal obstruction especially in children. There is no established protocol for the treatment of CV due to its rarity. Case Presentation: We present a rare case of CV in a 9-year-old girl. Discussion: The spectrum of intestinal malrotation may give rise to a mobile cecum that may result to CV. Constipation could be a predisposing factor. The clinical presentation which may include abdominal pain, distension, constipation and vomiting depends on the time of presentation. There may be associations with chromosomal abnormalities. Conclusion: Although CV is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction, awareness and high index of suspicion is needed by clinician for early diagnosis and treatment.

Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adults and an extremely rare presentation in children. One form known as a cecal bascule has only previously been reported in children with neurodevelopmental issues or with severe chronic constipation. We present the case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with an acute history of left lower quadrant abdominal pain, who upon investigation was found to have a cecal bascule.
