Summary:

Description
  • Radiopaedia case ID: 90897
  • Image ID: 55362558
  • Image stack position: 29/70
  • Plane projection: Axial
  • Aux modality: non-contrast
  • Modality: CT
  • System: Gastrointestinal
  • Findings: Nonenhanced axial and coronal CT images demonstrate dilation of the bowel, moving upwards to the left upper quadrant of the abdomen, with small bowel distention and distal colon decompression. The abnormally positioned and dilated cecum and the ileocecal valve have twisted on its mesentery and are located ectopically in the left upper quadrant. At the level of the volvulus, there is an area of swirling of the terminal ileum and its mesentery – the whirl sign, originating in the right lower quadrant and composed of spiraled loops of the ascending colon/collapsed cecum, distal ileum, and engorged vessels. Impression: These are diagnostic findings of cecal volvulus.
