Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is an uncommon disease that generally lacks symptoms and is rarely associated with intussusception. A 29-year-old man visited our hospital for right upper abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple air-filled cysts along the intestinal wall and a pseudokidney sign in the transverse colon. A gastrographin enema examination showed a so...

Intussusception, derived from the Latin roots intu “within” and susceptio “action of undertaking,” is the invagination of segments of bowel creating an often-transient obstruction. Adult cases account for only 5% [1] of all gastrointestinal intussusception cases and are commonly attributed to the formation of a small bowel lipoma. Adult intussusception is a very rare occurrence with some estima...

Introduction: Intussusception is commonly discussed in the context of children. However in adults, intussusception is an identified diagnosis accounting for 5% of all intussusceptions. A malignant etiology is always suspected in adults; however, rarely as in this case, a benign bowel lesion may be the underlying cause. case report: In this case report, we present an unusual case of a 36-year-ol...

Introduction: Although intussusception is a rare cause of mechanical bowel obstruction in adults, traumatic intussusception is exceedingly rare. In adults, intussusception contributes less than 1–5% of bowel obstructions. The first report of the diagnosis of intussusceptions was over three centuries ago (1674) by Barbette in Amsterdam. However, the first surgical treatment for this condition in...

BACKGROUND Intussusception refers to the telescoping of a proximal segment of bowel into a distal segment. It is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adulthood. CASE DETAILS We report two cases of adult intussusception in a post-operative period following Caesarean Section (with no lead point) and Appendicectomy (due to colonic adenocarcinoma) respectively. CONCLUSION Though rare in ad...

BACKGROUND Intussusception of the appendix is a very rare condition. It may clinically mimic acute or chronic abdominal diseases or can be asymptomatic. CASE REPORT This paper describes our experience with intussusception of the appendix. We report a case of a female with appendiceal intussusception and ileum endometriosis. CONCLUSION It is important to know about such a rare condition in o...

Duodenoduodenal intussusception is a rare condition that is in general caused by a tumor. We describe duodenoduodenal intussusception secondary to a tubulovillous adenoma that caused acute pancreatitis in a 31-year-old female. We resected a duodenal tumor from the submucosal layer and then simply closed the duodenal wall. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of acute panc...

Intussusception is relatively common in infants but occurs only 0.3% of cases during the first month of life.[1] Majority of neonatal intussusceptions occur in full term babies and it is rare in the premature newborns. Poynter suggested intrauterine intussusception as a cause of intestinal atresia in 1922. Less than 100 cases of intrauterine intussusception in association with ileal atresia hav...

Jejunogastric intussusception is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of a previous gastrojejunal anastomosis. Although jejunogastric intussusception was first described in 1914, fewer than 200 cases have been reported in the English literature thus far. Awareness of this rare complication would help in early diagnosis and appropriate management. Described here is a case re...
