CEBALLOS-ESPARRAGON, José et al. Intestinal obstruction due to volvulus of the cecum in a patient with intestinal malrotation associated with situs ambiguous. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.1, pp.182-187. Epub 28-Sep-2022. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.1283.
Introduction.
Complete or incomplete intestinal obstruction is one of the most frequent acute abdomen conditions. It constitutes between 20% and 35% of the urgent admissions of hospital surgical areas.
Clinical case.
We present a case of a patient with a history of prostate carcinoma, who began with clinical symptoms of intestinal obstruction and acute abdomen. He was diagnosed with volvulus of the cecum, intestinal malrotation, and situs ambiguous. Surgical treatment of the patient was successful.
Conclusion.
Knowledge of these pathological conditions is essential to be able to provide correct surgical treatment and reduce the mortality that these can lead to.
