Isolated Infarction of the Cecum: CT Findings in Two Patients

Abstract: Colonic ischemia isolated to the cecum is a rare entity. The authors evaluated two patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) because appendicitis was suspected at clinical examination. CT findings were suggestive of isolated cecal ischemia or infarction. Surgical-histopathologic findings helped confirm the presumptive CT diagnoses. Isolated cecal infarction should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute right lower quadrant pain.

“…Two factors could be taken into account to explain the right predominance of ischemia. First vascularization of the cecum is provided by the terminal branches of the lower colic artery, the anterior and posterior cecal arteries [13]. On the other hand, the right colicvasarecta are longer than the left colic vasa recta [12].…”

“…Na maioria dos mais recentes trabalhos encontrados na literatura médica em que há menção ao ceco móvel, se não em todos, excluindo os de Tirol [34][35][36][37][38] , os autores apenas mencionam os aspectos associados com a oclusão intestinal parcial, que pode ser devida à báscula cecal, à torção parcial e intermitente daquele segmento do intestino grosso ou à torção completa que pode culminar com obstrução do cólon direito e necrose do ceco. Nesses casos, o tratamento cirúrgico urgente proposto, em geral, termina com a excisão de parte do cólon direito 24,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] .…”
