Enteroenteric intussusception in an adult caused by an ileal angiomyolipoma

Adult Ileo-Ileal Intussusception Caused by Intestinal Lipoma

Laparoscopic management of an octogenarian adult intussusception caused by an ileal lipoma suspected preoperatively: a case report

Adult intussusception is rare and usually caused by a tumor acting as the lead point. Therefore, laparotomy should be considered for the treatment. Laparoscopic procedures for use in cases of adult intussusception have been recently reported; however, there is no consensus regarding the safety and efficacy. Here, we describe a successful case of laparoscopic management of an octogenarian adult ...

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...

Laparoscopic Resection of Adult Small Bowel Intussuscepting Lipoma with Intracorporeal Anastomosis: A Case Report

Intussusception, derived from the Latin roots intu “within” and susceptio “action of undertaking,” is the invagination of segments of bowel creating an often-transient obstruction. Adult cases account for only 5% [1] of all gastrointestinal intussusception cases and are commonly attributed to the formation of a small bowel lipoma. Adult intussusception is a very rare occurrence with some estima...

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...
