Gastroduodenal intussusception is an infrequent cause of gastrointestinal obstructive disease. Benign neoplasms, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and pedunculated adenocarcinomas of less than 5 cm have been reported to cause gastroduodenal intussusception. We report a case of 76-year-old woman who was presented with a 3-day history of nausea and vomiting due to upper gastrointestinal obstruction...

THE clinical diagnosis of chronic intussusception in adults is notoriously difficult. Unless a mass is palpable in the abdomen, or the intussusception reveals itself on rectal examination, there may be little more to go on than vague abdominal pain and indefinite signs. Preoperative diagnosis is rarely made; out of 28 cases of spontaneous sloughing and healing collected by Robb and Souter (1962...

Objectives: Intussusception, an uncommon but important cause of acute abdomen during infancy and early childhood, can be safely and effectively treated by fluoroscopic air reduction. Although pediatric radiology fellows report ample opportunity to practice intussusception reduction, radiology residents report few opportunities to participate in this procedure. Adequate training to reduce intuss...

422 peer reviewed Intussusception is defined as the invagination of a portion of bowel into the lumen of the adjacent segment of bowel (Smith, 1985). Intussusception, one of the causes of intestinal obstruction, is not a common gastrointestinal condition in cattle (Pearson and Pinsent, 1977; Smith, 1985; Smith, 1990) and is usually seen in calves less than two months old (Constable et al., 1997...

The primary report of intussusception was made in 1674 by Barbette Amsterdam. It increases the patient's risk intestinal obstruction, parietal ischemia, perforation, and peritonitis. Small submucosal lipomas are an uncommon kind gastrointestinal tumour. is a silent disease that occasionally causes haemorrhage, intussusception, bowel obstruction. Surgery frequently required to confirm diagnosis ...

One concern about rotavirus vaccines is its possible association with intussusception. Thus, it is necessary to determine the baseline incidence for intussusception in the first year of life in places where rotavirus vaccines are introduced. However, few safety data exist for the period at which the first dose of Rotarix and RotaTeq are allowed to administer in Japan. The first dose of Rota...

INTRODUCTION Intestinal intussusception is very rare in adults and, unlike in children, it is due to an organic cause, mainly benign or malignant tumors, in 90 % of cases. Recurrent intussusception in an adult is even more exceptional, and in the case reported it was due to repeated occurrence of intestinal pseudopolyps, which is exceptional according to the literature. Preoperative diagnosis i...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether climate factors correlate with variations in the rate of pediatric intussusception cases presenting to the Children's Hospital in Suzhou, China. MATERIAL AND METHODS The hospital records of 5,994 pediatric cases of intussusception who had presented between Aug 2006 and Dec 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data and air enema...

The authors investigated the possibility of an association between oral polio vaccine (OPV) and intussusception by linking Scottish vaccination and hospitalization data sets and performing self-controlled case series analysis. The issue was important because rotavirus vaccine, another live oral virus vaccine, was withdrawn from the market in 1999 after studies showed a strong association with i...
