    Journal: Helv Chir Acta; 1990 Jun; 57(1):37-40. PubMed ID: 2228683.

    Twelve cases of coecal volvulus have been analysed. Given typical signs, plain radiography of the abdomen should assure diagnosis. Chronic volvulus requires a colon contrast enema for confirmation of diagnosis.. Immediate laparotomy is mandatory.
