PEDRAZA-CIRO, Mauricio et al. Volvulus of the cecum as an uncommon cause of acute abdomen in pregnant women: Case report and review of the literatura. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.4, pp.699-704. Epub 16-Feb-2021. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.471.
Introduction.
Cecal volvulus in pregnancy is an uncommon pathology worldwide, with a varied clinical spectrum and limitation in diagnostic studies, which can result in an ominous outcome.
Clinical case.
We present the case of a pregnant woman in the second trimester of pregnancy who presents with an acute abdomen secondary to caecal volvulus and fetal distress. The patient was taken to emergency caesarean section, where a cecectomy and transverse ileus anastomosis were also performed, with fetal mortality.
Conclusion.
Cecal volvulus is part of the differential diagnoses in acute abdomen during pregnancy. It has a reserved prognosis, where adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes can occur, including maternal-fetal mortality.
