Intussusception is the telescoping of proximal bowel wall into the lumen of a distal segment. Whilst it is common in children, intussusception in adults is rare, and predominantly occurs secondary to an underlying malignant neoplasm. Abdominal and pelvic computed tomography (CT) is preferred for detection of lead points and lesion localisation. We present the case of a 79-year-old female with a...

Intestinal intussusception in adults is a rare medical condition accounting for less than 5% of all intussusceptions. Herein we present a 45-year-old patient with a history of abdominal pain and loss of weight. CT scan revealed jejunojejunal intussusceptions. The patient was subjected to exploratory operation and small intestine resection due to a mass causing intestinal intussusception. Pathol...

BACKGROUND Postlicensure data has identified a causal link between rotavirus vaccines and intussusception in some settings. As rotavirus vaccines are introduced globally, monitoring intussusception will be crucial for ensuring safety of the vaccine programs. METHODS To obtain updated information on background rates and clinical management of intussusception, we reviewed studies of intussuscep...

Intussusception is an invagination of a proximal segment the bowel into immediately adjacent, distal portion bowel. Ileocolic intussusception one most common causes obstruction in children. The peak incidence occurs infants between five and seven months age. etiology children typically idiopathic, approximately 5-10% patients have pathological lead point. Postoperative rare intussusception. Chi...

Rotavirus immunization has been limited to young infants owing to intussusception events noted with a prior rotavirus vaccine, RotaShield. Dramatic declines occurred in rotavirus-related disease beginning in 2008 after implementation of rotavirus vaccination in young infants. These declines occurred in vaccinated children and unvaccinated children and adults (through indirect protection). Despi...
