Case description

Ileocecal valve and the confluence of the tree taenias. See the video by clicking on the image, you can appreciate the ileocecal valve from which a valve emerges air bubble. The ileocecal valve is where the small intestine empties into the large intestine and there is a valve behind the fold that we are looking at. You can see that this fold is thicker than the fold on the bottom of the screen where there is no such valve. In the distance, we see the end of the colon, which is otherwise known as the cecum. This is completely normal.
