Caecal volvulus is an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. Diagnosis may be challenging due to lack of clinical familiarity, variable clinical presentation and misinterpretation of diagnostic imaging and procedures. This case report describes a 29-year-old male with acute intestinal obstruction secondary to caecal volvulus, on a background of recurrent caecocolic torsion. Diagnosis required repeat axial imaging and endoscopy when initial imaging studies were misinterpreted.
