Heterotopic pancreas (HP) is generally asymptomatic and found incidentally. It can act very rarely as a leading point for intussusception. Thus, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of the mass lesions leading to the intestinal intussusception. Herein, we report an unusual case of HP as a cause of ileocolic intussusception.

Intussusception, invagination of a segment the gut into an adjacent one, is relatively common cause intestinal obstruction in children but very rare and uncommon clinical entity adults accounting to 1% near about 65% these are caused by malignant lead point. The Lipomatous polyp accounts for 4% all benign tumors gut. In most cases, seen particularly large intestine, usually sub mucosal around i...

Background Intussusception is the main cause of bowel obstruction and one of the most common surgical emergencies that can occur during childhood. That is why this study investigates the effective factors for non-surgical reduction in patients who have experienced successful reduction in intussusception to determine the effective factors. Materials and Methods This retrospective study was perfo...

BACKGROUND Intussusception in adults is a rare cause of abdominal pain that is often associated with organic pathology. We describe a case of ileocolic intussusception revealing a cecal adenocarcinoma in a young woman successfully managed by laparoscopic-assisted surgery adhering to oncological principles. CASE PRESENTATION A 30-year-old woman with a family history of colon adenocarcinoma in ...

Dear Sirs, We read with great interest the recent article of C. Toso et al. [Swiss Med Wkly 2005;135:87–90] [1], in which the authors report on a group of patients managed for intussusception over a 17-year period and review the literature. We agree with their views on the importance of early surgical management, but disagree with the emphasis placed on the utility of computed tomography (CT) a...

A 30-year-old man presented to the emergency department for two weeks of diffuse abdominal pain and an episode of emesis. He denied fever, prior surgery, or any other illnesses. The patient reported going on a “crash diet regimen” one month prior, resulting in an intentional weight loss of 25lbs in 30 days. He also reported two episodes of melena-type bowel movements prior and had an esophagoga...

vanced immunosuppression (CD4 counts of 140 cells/mL) was admitted to the department of internal medicine 4 months after primary infection, with diarrhea, epigastric pain, dysphagia, and weight loss. He was referred to us for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy which revealed Candida infection of the esophagus. Due to persistent epigastric pain, abdominal computed tomography (CT) was performed which ...

Jejunogastric intussusception (JGI) is a rare condition and less than 200 cases have been published since its first description in 1914. In addition, JGI is potentially lethal complication of gastrectomy or gastrojejunostomy. We report the case of a 73-year-old man with a history of a Billroth II procedure who presented to the emergency department after 6 hours of epigastric pain and hematemesi...
