Abdominal X-ray showing cecal volvulus with a distended and displaced cecum, indicating bowel obstruction - cecal colvulus x-ray.

Cecal volvulus is a medical emergency that occurs when the cecum and a portion of the ascending colon twist around their mesentery. This leads to bowel obstruction and potential ischemia. Radiographically, it presents with a dilated, often displaced cecum, as seen in this abdominal X-ray. Prompt diagnosis and intervention are crucial to prevent complications.
