Unique problems in cecal embryogenesis and cecal pathology can result in characteristic imaging findings. Familiarity with these findings and utilization of an organized approach help to define the cecum’s role in acute abdominal symptoms. Clinical symptoms associated with cecal diseases can be diverse and misleading. This pictorial essay should provide a framework for an understanding of anatomical, infectious, and inflammatory cecal diseases. Knowledge of a broad spectrum of cecal pathologies contributing to these disorders and their corresponding imaging findings can help a radiologist define the diagnosis and guide proper management.
