  • Title: [Anatomic and histologic study of the human ileocecal valve. Developmental aspects as a function of age].
    Author: Scheye T, Dechelotte P, Vanneuville G, Tanguy A, Chazal J, Amrane M.
    Journal: Bull Assoc Anat (Nancy); 1983 Dec; 67(199):485-99. PubMed ID: 6679456.
    Abstract:
    Based on gross anatomy and histological studies of thirty specimens ranging from nineteen weeks of gestational age to eighty-two years old, the authors present an analytical study of the ileocecal valve. The results confirm the evolutive aspect of the ileocecal valve with age, but, however seems to demonstrate a functional regression correlated with the frequency of its incontinence in adulthood.
