Angiography with a pre-diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome was performed in a 76-year-old female patient presenting to another hospital with symptoms of chest pain and syncope. Upon determination of type III aortic dissection, the patient was referred to our clinic. On CT angiography, the ascending aortic diameter was 57 mm and no dissection flap was observed. There was a filling defect sugges...

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but are the least common of small intestinal malignant neoplasms. While GI bleeding is the most common clinical presentation of GISTs, intussusception and obstruction are uncommon, as GISTs rarely grow into the lumen. We describe an unusual case of a 50-year-old male who presented ...

BACKGROUND A rotavirus vaccine previously licensed in the United States was withdrawn because it caused intussusception. Data on background intussusception rates in developing countries are required to plan pre- and postlicensure safety studies for new rotavirus vaccines. Also, it is unclear whether natural rotavirus infection is associated with intussusception. METHODS Passive surveillance f...

by intestinal lipomatosis: double-balloon endoscopic and laparoscopic views A 52-year-oldwhitemanwithout co-morbidities presented with a 6-year history of recurrent abdominal pain and episodes of melena twice a week for the past year. He was started on oral iron sulfate supplements and had already received a blood transfusion. Findings from physical examination were normal. The hemoglobin level...

Adult intussusception caused by an inverted Meckel diverticulum is rare. We report a 39-year-old Turkish man with intussusception due to Meckel diverticulitis. Ileoileal intussusception was suggested by computed tomography. Exploration revealed ileoileal intussusception with Meckel diverticulum. A diverticulectomy with small bowel resection was performed.

A case of intussusception may be missed on initial presentation, if the physician is not vigilant or non-specific symptoms are present. It progress to prolapse per anus, attended to. We reported a intussusception, i.e. presentation by local practitioner and progressed anus perforation peritonitis. The patient was managed well experienced an uneventful course.

BACKGROUND The epidemiology of intussusception, including its incidence, can vary between different countries. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of childhood intussusception in Japan using data from a nationwide inpatient database. METHODS We screened the database for eligible cases ≤ 18 years of age, who were coded with a discharge diagnosis of intussusception (Internati...

BACKGROUND Case reports and case series studies suggest a positive association between intussusception and celiac disease (CD). METHODS We contacted Sweden's 28 pathology departments and obtained data on 29,096 patients with biopsy-verified CD (equal to Marsh stage 3) through biopsy reports. Patients with CD were matched for age, sex, calendar period and county of residence with up to five re...

Background: Accurate estimates of the baseline incidence of childhood intussusception could help safety monitoring after introduction of rotavirus vaccines. Therefore, we studied the incidence of intussusception in the state of Qatar. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases of intussusception in children younger than 14 years. Children were treated between 2002 and 2012 at a single hospital ...

We present a unique case of duodeno-duodenal intussusception from a duodenal bulb ulcer. A 38-year-old man presented with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Computed tomography showed duodenal intussusception. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed a linear gastric ulcer and a duodenal bulb ulcer with an overlying blood clot. Helicobacter pylori status was positive. Intussusception resolved...
