Cecal volvulus caused by internal herniation after roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery

Abstract
Cecal volvulus is the rotation of a mobile cecum resulting in a large bowel obstruction. We present the case of a 55-year-old female who underwent a roux-en-y gastric bypass in 2003 and presented to the emergency department with worsening abdominal pain, distention and obstipation. Roentgenogram demonstrated a 14 cm colon suggestive of sigmoid volvulus, but CT scan showed rectal contrast abruptly ending in the distal transverse colon, mesenteric swirling and a distended cecum, consistent with cecal, rather than sigmoid, volvulus. Upon surgical exploration the majority of the small bowel, cecum and ascending colon had herniated through the transverse mesocolon defect created during her prior gastric bypass. The bowel was reduced through the mesenteric defect, and an ileocecectomy was performed. This is, to our knowledge, the first reported case of cecal volvulus caused by an internal hernia through a mesocolon defect created during a prior roux-en-y gastric bypass operation.
