  • Title: Caecal volvulus in pregnancy: is delay in diagnosis avoidable?
    Author: Singla SL, Kadian YS, Goyal A, Sharma U, Kadian N.
    Journal: Asian J Surg; 2005 Jan; 28(1):52-4. PubMed ID: 15691800.
    Abstract:
    Intestinal volvulus is not an uncommon cause of obstruction in pregnancy. Diagnosis is often delayed due to poor knowledge of the condition and a hesitation to use abdominal X-rays in a pregnant patient. Here, two cases of caecal volvulus in pregnancy are reported. Proper diagnosis and early treatment of the condition is emphasized.
