Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare benign lesion originating from the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Inflammatory fibroid polyp in the small bowel commonly presents with intussusception and bowel obstruction. We report two cases of inflammatory fibroid polyps as rare causes of intussusception in adult patients, and review the literature on imaging features of inflammatory fibroid po...

Of a series of ninety-six young male Syrian Golden hamsters, 13% developed lethargy, anorexia, diarrhoea and colocolic intussusception when their diet was changed from a basal laboratory-grade rodent chow to a nutritionally complete semi-purified diet. Histologically, the colon of the hamsters with intussusception had markedly reduced mucus production. Plasma levels of gastric inhibitory polype...

The typical presentation of intussusception includes intermittent severe abdominal pain, vomiting, rectal bleeding, and the presence of an abdominal mass. We present a case of intussusception after abdominal blunt trauma along with a literature review. A 4-year-old girl was admitted to the emergency department after a bicycle accident. She complained of progressively worsening abdominal pain, b...

Intussusception of the appendix is a rare condition that can occasionally be observed at routine colonoscopy. Different clinical presentations have been described for appendiceal intussusception. Some mimic acute appendicitis, some present with typical symptoms of intussusception, and others are totally asymptomatic. Because it can be mistaken for a neoplastic lesion, awareness of such lesions ...

a 4-month-old, intact male domestic short-hair cat was presented to veterinary hospital with an acuteonset of regurgitation and respiratory distress. thoracic and abdominal radiographs identified a massconsisted of a heterogeneous mixture of soft tissue and gas densities between heart and craniodorsal part of the diaphragm that was shifted to the left. the stomach could not be seen clearly. rad...

BACKGROUND Intussusception refers to a condition in which a segment of the intestine invaginates into the lumen of an adjacent segment of the intestine. Postoperative intussusception after gastrointestinal surgery is an uncommon clinical condition, and there is only one case report of small bowel intussusception after rectal cancer surgery. Here, we report a case of spontaneous small bowel intu...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of pneumatic reduction in the management of intussusception in children in the setting of a sub-Saharan African nation. DESIGN Prospective case series. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital in Kumasi, Ghana. SUBJECTS Forty four children, aged 4 months to 13 years, 28 boys and 16 girls, were admitted with a clinical diagnosis of intussusception and confirme...

INTRODUCTION Rotarix™, GSK's live attenuated rotavirus vaccine, was introduced in Japan in 2011. A recent trend in reduction of rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) due to this vaccine was described. However, an observed/expected analysis showed a temporal association with intussusception within 7 days post dose 1. OBJECTIVE In this paper, we compare the benefit and risk of vaccination side-by-si...

INTRODUCTION The aims of this study were to describe the reports of suspected adverse events due to rotavirus vaccines, and assess the reporting sensitivity for intussusception. MATERIAL AND METHODS Descriptive study performed using the reports of suspected adverse events following rotavirus vaccination in infants aged less than 10 months, as registered in the Pharmacovigilance Centre of the ...

Adult intussusception is uncommon and requires a surgical approach. Malignancy is associated with 31% (43/137) of small bowel intussusception and 70% (74/106) of large bowel intussusception. Computerized tomography (CT) findings are pathognomonic for this condition. Often, the patient presents with long-standing, nonspecific complaints. A 63-year-old man presented with sudden onset of abdominal...
