We present a case of non-Peutz Jegher hamartomatous polyps causing jejuno-jejunal intussusception and small bowel obstruction in a pediatric patient. In addition, we also provide an intraoperative video of the intussusception reduction process. Polyps causing small bowel intussusception are uncommon but not rare. However, we could not find in the medical literature any videos of the intussuscep...

Intussusception is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in adult patients, but is common in children. In fact, it accounts for an estimated 1% of all cases of bowel obstruction in adults, although adult intussusception of the large intestine is rare. Sigmoidorectal intussusception, however, is a rare variety with few cases reported in the literature. A mucinous adenocarcinoma, a subtype of ad...

Oral rotavirus vaccine was voluntarily withdrawn from the market after studies observed an increased risk of intussusception within 2 weeks after immunization. Concern has been raised that other orally administered vaccines, such as oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), may also be associated with intussusception. In this 1990-1998 case-control study, the authors examined the association between OPV a...

BACKGROUND Adult intussusception is a rare clinical entity. The presentations and optimal management of adult intussusception in Asians have seldom been reported. The purpose of this study was to determine the causes and management of adult intussusception in Taiwan. METHODS A retrospective review performed at four medical centers in Taiwan identified 46 patients, at least 18 years old, with ...

Adult intussusception usually presents with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and a change in bowel habits. Although postoperative intussusception has been described in the pediatric population, there has been little description of it in the adult population. Postoperative intussusception has unique challenges, as hydrostatic reduction may compromise bowel...

Mayell, M. J. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 20. Intussusception in infancy and childhood in Southern Africa. A review of 223 cases. Two hundred and twenty-three cases of intussusception admitted over a 9a-year period are analysed. Six deaths occurred. Sigmoidorectal intussusception occurred on 5 occasions and in each case was referred as a case of rectal prolapse, and the diagno...

CONTEXT Adult intussusception occurs infrequently and differs from childhood intussusception in its presentation, etiology and treatment. Diagnosis can be delayed because of its longstanding, intermittent, and non-specific symptoms, and most cases are diagnosed at emergency laparotomy. CASE REPORT We present the diagnosis and management of our patient, a pregnant woman, who had adult intussus...

Two cases of intussusception of the appendix are reported--one caused by adenocarcinoma and adenomatous polyp and the other by an endometrioma. Appendiceal intussusception and adenocarcinoma are both uncommon entities and this is the first report of the two occurring concomitantly. Due to variable symptoms, the correct diagnosis of appendiceal intussusception has rarely been made preoperatively...

Adult intussusception is rare, making-up only about 1% of the causes of bowel obstruction intussusception, secondary to an inverted Meckel's diverticulum, is also a rare occurrence. Chronic abdominal pain, lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and recurrent obstructive symptoms may lead to an unnecessary delay in diagnosis. This case report describes a rare cause of adult intestinal intussusception ...
