Ileocecal valve

The ileal valve (Ileocecal valve or Ileocaecal valve) is a physiological structure whose function is to isolate the distal small intestine (non-hepatic region) from the intestinal microflora of the large intestine. Thus, a micron and submicron portion-perfusion “conveyor” is formed in it, and mixing of contrast agents is prevented. Located in the flexure of the last loop of intestine, connecting the exit cecum (cecum) and the distal part of the duodenum or splenic angle.

Principles of consideration

The caloric valve is a parenchymal serous formation of irregular shape - both the formation can be normal and hypertrophic. 1 Through valve contractions, it is able to prevent the flow of chyme residues from the cecum into the small intestine and the formation of meconium based on the contents of the small intestine, since their connection leads to a deterioration in the peristalsis of the small intestine.
