ileocaecal valve , auch: ileocaecocolic valve , auch: ileocolic valve

In tetrapods, the ileocaecal valve is always present, opening into the colon.

Caecum receives the solid wastes of digestion from the ileum via the Ileocaecal valve.

Two adjacent biopsy specimens were taken from the terminal ileum, the ileocaecal valve, and from eight different sites in the colon.

The large intestine is truly distinct only in tetrapods, in which it is almost always separated from the small intestine by an ileocaecal valve.

The head of the intussusception was found to be an ileal polyp just proximal to the ileocaecal valve which measured 4.5 cm with a 1.5 cm stalk.

The caecum was considered to be reached only if the light of the instrument was seen in the right lower quadrant, the base of the appendix was visualised, and the ileocaecal valve was seen.

Continuous deep palpation starting from the left iliac fossa upwards (counterclockwise along the colon) may cause pain in the right iliac fossa, by pushing bowel contents towards the ileocaecal valve and thus increasing pressure around the appendix.

The ileocecal valve, or ileocaecal valve, is a papillose structure with physiological sphincter muscle situated at the junction of the small intestine (ileum) and the large intestine, with recent evidence indicating an anatomical sphincter may also be present in humans.
