Retrograde Jejuno-Jejunal Intussusception after Total Gastrectomy

An eighty-year-old female was transferred to the hospital after experiencing abdominal pain and nausea. She had had a history of total gastrectomy for gastric cancer 14 years previously. Abdominal X-ray revealed a localized expansion of the small bowel. Computed tomography revealed a mass with a lamellar structure in a concentric circle.

We present a case of retrograde jejuno-gastric intussusception in a 42-year-old female who presented with upper abdominal pain, vomiting and swelling in left hypochondruim.

Jejuno-jejunal Intussusception – a Cadaveric Case Report

During routine cadaveric dissection a rare condition jejunojejunal intussusception was found in an adult cadaver. It accounts for 5-10% of all intussuception and 1% of all bowel obstructions.The part of the intestine beyond the intussuception may or may not show necrosis and obstruction. Ultrasound and CT scans are the two most important radiological methods to diagnose intussusception.
