Enterogenous cyst of the small bowel causing intussusception in an adult: Case report and review of literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Small bowel intussusception is a rare congenital disease entity, mostly manifesting before the age of two with abdominal pain and acute intestinal obstruction. In adults, colon intussusception is a rare event causing approximately 1% of all acute intestinal obstructions and they can occur idiopathically in adults or due to an intraluminal tumor mass. We report a case of an enterogenous cyst causing intussusception and iron deficiency anemia in an adult treated by surgical excision and resection of the small bowel.

Cysts whose walls reproduce completely or incompletely the structure of gut, whether discovered in the wall of the gut, attached to the gut, or even more or less remote from the gut, must have been derived from the gut (Evans, 1929).

متن کاملInflammatory Fibroid Polyps Causing Intussusception in Adult Patients: Two Case Reports and Review of Literature Focusing on Radiological Features
Inflammatory fibroid polyp is a rare benign lesion originating from the submucosa of the gastrointestinal tract. Inflammatory fibroid polyp in the small bowel commonly presents with intussusception and bowel obstruction. We report two cases of inflammatory fibroid polyps as rare causes of intussusception in adult patients, and review the literature on imaging features of inflammatory fibroid po...
متن کاملSmall bowel intussusception causing a postoperative bowel obstruction following laparoscopic low anterior resection in an adult.
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...
