Caecal volvulus in pregnancy: is delay in diagnosis avoidable?

Sham Lal Singla1, Yogender Singh Kadian, Ashish Goyal, Umesh Sharma, Nirmla Kadian.   

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.
