Colonic ischemia isolated to the cecum is a rare entity. The authors evalua
ted two patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) because appendiciti
s was suspected at clinical examination. CT findings were, suggestive of is
olated cecal ischemia or infarction. Surgical-histopathologic findings help
ed confirm the presumptive CT diagnoses. Isolated cecal infarction should b
e included in the differential diagnosis of acute right lower quadrant pain
.
