Multiple simultaneous small bowel intussusceptions in an adult
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intestinal intussusception is a rare cause of bowel obstruction in adults and can be associated with a pathologic lead point. We report a case of multiple simultaneous small bowel intussusceptions in a 41-year-old female who presented with a 3-week history of intermittent, crampy epigastric abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea. Computed tomography imaging demonstrated two areas of intussusception. The patient underwent exploratory laparoscopy, and six separate regions of intussusception were discovered.

Sliding within the bowel is propelled by intestinal peristalsis and may lead to intestinal obstruction and ischemia. Adult intussusception is a rare condition wich can occur in...
