=====Flatulent colic=====
Flatulent, or gas colic, occurs when caecal gases are produced faster than they can be removed by the caecum and colon, leading to a distension of the caecum.  A diagnosis is strongly confirmed by a right sided abdominal distension, and [[auscultation]]/percussion of tympanitic sounds.  Treatment involves withdrawal of fluid, and intra-venous fluid therapy.  The distension can be relieved by [[trocharisation]] of the caecal head, via the right sub-lumbar fossa, which is ideally performed using ultrasound guidance.
