Mobile cecum syndromeis a disease caused by the failure of the right colon fusion with the lateralperitoneum. It might lead to volvulus which could cause micro vascular damagespreventing the full action of substances such as the intestinal vasoactive peptideand nitric oxide. These substances are necessary to the correct gastrointestinalfunction. The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship betweenthe mobility of cecum and the right colon (diagnosed by radiological examination)and the chronic constipation. Forty constipated patients, from the Clinic ofColoproctologia of the Hospital Regional de Mato Grosso do Sul (HRMS), in accordancewith the attached protocol were studied through radiological analysis. It wasobserved that the majority of the patients (72,50%) presented radiological mobilityof the cecum and right colon and that the clinical variable studied accordingto the protocol are not enough to define these patients as mobile cecum syndromepatients.
