Abstract

Internal hernias are the underlying cause of acute or intermittent intestinal obstruction in approximately 4 per cent of cases. Their preoperative diagnosis depends on radiologic evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract with contrast material. This article presents the clinical and radiographic findings associated with various types of intra-abdominal herniations.

The management of cecal volvulus.

Cecal volvulus is second only to sigmoid volvulus in its frequency of occurrence. Diagnostic doubt is not uncommon in cecal volvulus; nonoperative decompression is rarely achievable; and if gangrene supervenes, mortality rises appreciably. Resection is mandatory for gangrene and a grossly distended, thin-walled cecum. Cecopexy and cecostomy seem less-effective and more morbid options than resection and anastomosis for viable bowel. However, their role needs reappraisal in the light of advances in minimally invasive techniques.

[Pseudotumoral enterocolic phlebitis of the cecum and rutoside. A case report].

INTRODUCTION: Enterocolic phlebitis is an entity characterized by ischemic injury of the gastrointestinal tract caused by thrombophlebitis of the mesenteric veins without arterial involvement or systemic disease. EXEGESIS: We report a case of enterocolic phlebitis in a 57-year-old female treated by rutoside, revealed by intestinal obstruction related to a pseudotumoral lesion of the caecum. CONCLUSION: This case adds to the four cases of enterocolic phlebitis under rutoside already reported in the literature, suggesting a possible involvement of this drug in this rare disease.
