Adult Ileo-Ileal Intussusception Caused by Intestinal Lipoma

Adult Ileo-Ileal Intussusception Caused by Intestinal Lipoma

Intussusception is an invagination of a portion of bowel into distal segment. While common in children, it is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adults and usually is caused by a lead point. Most causes of adult small bowel intussusceptions are benign intestinal lesions like lipoma, leiomyoma, neurofibroma, inflammatory polyps, and meckel diverticulum.1 Patients usually present with bowel obs...

Retrograde ileo-ileal intussusception.

A case of retrograde ileo-ileal intussusception in a boy of 16 years is reported. There was no apparent predisposing cause. The patient was treated by resection-anastomosis of the ileum and recovered uneventfully.

Ileo-ileal intussusception in adult caused by Vanek’s tumor: a report of five cases

Inflammatory fibroid polyps are rare, non-neoplasic lesions that originate in the sub mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. They were first described in the stomach by Vanek, in 1949. The aetiology of IFP is unknown. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice for this disease. The debate focused on the issue of primary en bloc resection of intussuscepted bowel versus initial reduction follow...

Laparoscopic-assisted resection of ileal lipoma causing ileo-ileo-colic intussusception.

Adult intussusception is rare, and the majority of cases has an underlying cause that requires surgical resection. We report a case of a 39 yr-old man with ileo-ileo-colic intussusception caused by ileal lipoma that was successfully managed by a laparoscopic-assisted surgical maneuver. Using a three-cannula technique, ileo-colic intussusception was reduced laparoscopically. Then, through a 4-cm...

Ileo Ileal Intussusception secondary to Submucosal Ileal Lipoma – A Case Report

Intussusception in adults accounts for less than 5 % of all intussusceptions. It occurs when a segment of intestine invaginates into itself. Here we report a 60 year old female patient with pain abdomen over 4 years duration, located in the lower abdomen which was insidious in onset and colicky in nature lasting for 15 to 30 minutes, which aggravated on taking food and relieved after passing st...
