ABSTRACT
Massive dilatation of the cecum developed in an elderly man following admission for an acute episode of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage complicated by myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation, and pulmonary edema. A diagnosis of pseudo-obstruction was made. After an unsuccessful attempt at colonoscopy, percutaneous cecostomy was performed under computed tomographic guidance, using trocar technique. The cecal distention resolved and did not recur. Percutaneous cecostomy is an alternative to colonoscopy and to surgical cecostomy in the treatment of massive cecal distention.
