title: Caecal volvulus in a patient with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction.
abstract: Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is a rare disorder characterised by recurrent symptoms and signs of intestinal obstruction without an underlying mechanical cause. Caecal volvulus remains a rare cause of intestinal obstruction that often requires operative intervention.  We describe the previously unreported case of caecal volvulus occurring in an adult patient with CIPO, together with his subsequent management.
