Active cecum syndrome

Under physiological conditions, the cecum is covered by peritoneum on all sides, but 5% of the people may have no peritoneum behind the upper part of the cecum and have an underdeveloped mesangium, so it has a certain degree of mobility, but its range of activity should not exceed 6cm, however, if the right mesentery and lateral peritoneum fail to fuse during the embryonic period, the mobility of the cecum and ascending colon can be greatly enhanced, and even if it is still in the normal lower right anatomical position, it can occur due to abnormal activities A series of symptoms of partial intestinal obstruction, which are twisted, displaced, sometimes even beyond the midline to the left, are called hyperkinetic cecum syndrome.
