Caecal bascule--a potential clinical and radiological pitfall. Case reports

M S Rabin, I A Richter

    South African Medical Journal = Suid-Afrikaanse Tydskrif Vir Geneeskunde
    |August 5, 1978

    Summary

    Caecal bascule, a rare form of caecal volvulus, presents diagnostic challenges due to its unusual pelvic location and confusing clinical/radiological signs. This study discusses two cases, highlighting key features of this uncommon obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Caecal volvulus typically involves a twisted caecum in the umbilical or left hypochondrium.
    • Caecal bascule is an uncommon variant where the distended caecum is located in the pelvis.

    Observation:

    • Clinical and radiological presentations of caecal bascule can be misleading.
    • Two distinct cases of caecal bascule are presented for analysis.

    Findings:

    • The study examines the incidence, pathogenesis, and characteristic radiological features of caecal bascule.
    • Radiographic interpretation is crucial for differentiating caecal bascule from other conditions.

    Implications:

    • Understanding caecal bascule's unique presentation aids in timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
