Cecal Volvulus and Bascule

A cecal bascule is a variant of cecal volvulus that is thought to result from anteromedial folding of the cecum in relation to the ascending colon without torsion. Cecal volvulus can occur due to clockwise or counterclockwise twisting of the cecum along its axis, in which case it ends up in the right lower quadrant. Cecal volvulus may also result from twisting and inversion of the ceccum, in which case it ends up in the left upper quadrant.
