SAMANIEGO, Castor; RODRIGUEZ A, Gabriel; MEZA, José M  e  MARTINS, Débora. Volvulus of the right colon in adults with infantile cerebral paralysis. Cir. parag. [online]. 2024, vol.48, n.2, pp.29-32. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2024.agosto.29.

Two cases of volvulus of the cecum and right colon are reported in adults with Cerebral Paralisys. A 34-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman - were hospitalized for intestinal occlusion of 1 and 2 days of evolution. In both cases, the interrogation and physical examination contributed little or nothing, except for abdominal pain. The diagnosis of colon volvulus required imaging studies. At the time of surgery both had necrosis and the right colectomy was performed with ileostomy and mucosal fistula. Postoperative problems and mainly a slow gastrointestinal recovery postponed discharge.
