CAECAL VOLVULUS IN 27-WEEK PREGNANT LADY: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Caecal volvulus is a rare entity during pregnancy and is a potentially life-threatening condition. We describe here the case of a 27-year-old pregnant woman at 27 weeks of gestation, presenting with acute abdominal pain. A series of images revealed it to be a caecal volvulus, and surgical intervention was required. In most circumstances, the gravid uterus of the patient would pose a challenge, but in this case, an exploratory laparotomy was done with no significant complications, and favorable outcomes were realized for both mother and child. Increased awareness is essential in optimizing outcomes and preventing complications of those very rare but potential-fatal conditions of pregnancy. This is a very important case because it brings out the need to promptly recognize, resuscitate swiftly, and effectively manage such conditions in a pregnant patient in order to avert the development of complications and optimize mother and fetal outcomes. Keywords: Caecal volvulus, acute abdominal pain, pregnancy, exploratory laparotomy, surgical intervention
