Volvulus

  • "Two defined transition points are seen in the minority of cases of cecal volvulus; a single transition point is more sensitive for cecal volvulus."

  • "When cecal volvulus is suspected, the absence of distal colonic decompression on CT topograms makes the diagnosis very unlikely. Whirl, ileocecal twist, transition points, X-marks-the-spot, and split wall have high specificity for cecal volvulus."
