    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Cesarean section rates are increasing globally.
    • Cecal volvulus is a rare surgical emergency.
    • Postpartum complications require vigilant obstetric awareness.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare case of cecal volvulus occurring post-cesarean section.
    • Literature review reveals only 10 prior documented instances.
    • The condition presents a significant diagnostic and management challenge.

    Findings:

    • Cecal volvulus following cesarean delivery is an infrequent occurrence.
    • The condition carries substantial risks of morbidity and mortality.
