Ileo-colic intussusception by ileo-cecal valve lipoma - an infrequent ultrasonographic occurrence. A case report.

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...

Adult Ileo-Ileo-Caecal Intussusception: Case Report and Literature Review

Adult intussusception is a rare entity accounting for only 5% of all intussusceptions and causes approximately 1% of all adult intestinal obstructions. Unlike paediatric intussusceptions which are usually idiopathic, there is usually a lead point pathology which might be malignant in up to 50% cases. We present an unusual case of adult intussusception which was not diagnosed on any investigatio...

Giant Ileo-cecal Lipoma Causing Intussusception in an Adult: A Case Report and a Review of Literature

Intussusceptions in adults are rare conditions with intestinal tumors underlying as the principal cause. Lipomas are an important cause for intussusceptions in adults and they may remain asymptomatic for a long time. The patients usually have non-specific symptoms and the diagnosis relies on imaging methods among which the most useful is CT scan. The treatment consists of surgical intervention ...

Cecal Endometriosis as a Cause of Ileocolic Intussusception

Endometriosis is a disease that can affect various organs, has an unclear symptomatology, and in extreme cases, can result in intestinal obstruction. This particular case illustrates the synchronous localization of endometriosis, both genital and intestinal, resulting in ileo-colic and colonic intussusception. The relative diagnostic and therapeutic approach for such a rare occurrence is discus...
