Summary:•Cecal bascule is rare.•Case of Elderly female with cecal bascule.•Ceceomy + ileo-cecal anastomosis was done.•Should consider cecal bascule in acute abdomen. Cecal bascule is a rare type of cecal volvulus occurring in the elderly population with a male predominance. It is a condition where the cecum folds upward upon itself. There are only a handful of case reports published about cecal bascule. This is the first case being reported from Pakistan. A 68 year old female, known hypertensive and osteoporosis presented in the ER with complaints of vomiting, abdominal distension and absolute constipation. Radiology was non-diagnostic. She was treated with cecectomy and anastomosis. Post operatively she developed ileus for which was managed. She was subsequently discharged at 8th day post op. The management of cecal bascule is always surgery with predilection towards cecopexy or cecetomy to prevent recurrence. This manuscript is as per the SCARE case report checklist [1].
