Abstract
The caecal volvulus is the torsion of the first part of the colon around its mesenteric axis. This location remains exceptional compared to the sigmoid, which is the usual seat of the volvulus. We present the case of a patient who was operated on 7 years ago for a volvulus of the sigmoid, and who presents for a second episode of an occlusive syndrome of the caecal volvulus. The diagnosis was retained by an injected abdominal pelvic CT, and emergency surgical treatment was indicated with a straight hemicolectomy with double stomas. The post-operative follow-ups were without particularities and a return home on the 4th day.
