Case description

The goal for a complete examination is to reach the cecum and, in some cases, the terminal ileum. Landmarks that may help to determine if this has been achieved include visualization of the appendiceal orifice and the ileocecal valve. Transillumination above the right inguinal canal also suggests cecal intubation.
