Unusual Case of Intussusception in Childhood

Heterotopic Pancreas- an Unusual Cause of Ileoileal Intussusception: a Case Report

Heterotopic pancreas is an uncommon developmental anomaly of upper gastrointestinal tract. Heterotopic pancreas tissue is very rarely found in ileum. Intussusception in children is usually idiopathic, but definitive aetiology can be established in 90% of adult cases. We are reporting a case of pancreatic heterotopia presenting as a lead point of ileo-ileal intussusception in a 1year 3month year...

Heterotopic Pancreas as a Leading Point of Intussusception: A Case Report

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.

Ultrasound-Guided Hydrostatic Reduction of Childhood Intussusceptions Using Water Enema

Conventional hydrostatic barium reduction or pneumatic reduction of intussusception is associated with considerable ionizing radiation. The aim of this study was to evaluate ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction for childhood intussusception using water enema. A total of 76 children who diagnosed as having intussusception were referred to Doctor Sheikh Children Hospital in Mashhad (northeast ...

Chronic intussusception in infancy and childhood.

It is often stated that chronic intussusception occurs mostly in older children, at about the seventh year. Three cases of this sort in boys aged seven, seven and a half and eight years, have recently been recorded by Garvie-and Kemp (1945), who appended a list of sixty-two previous case reports of chronic intussusception in which the ages of as many as thirty-three were in the first three year...

An infrequent case of intussusception caused by gastrointestinal stromal tumor in an adult patient

Intussusception may occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal system. Unlike its idiopathic childhood counterpart, it is uncommon during adult life and a definitive cause is usually found; almost half of cases develop with malignancy. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) originate from interstitial Cajal cells of the gastrointestinal tract. They more frequently occur in the stomach and small int...
