The ileocecal fold (or ileocaecal fold) is an anatomy structure of the human abdomen formed by a layer of peritoneum between the ileum and cecum. The upper border of the ileocecal fold is fixed to the ileum opposite its mesentery attachment, and the lower border passes over the ileocecal junction to join the Mesoappendix (and sometimes the appendix itself as well). Behind the ileocecal fold is the inferior ileocecal fossa.
