INTRODUCTION Intussusception involving heterotopic pancreatic tissue is a rare condition where a portion of the bowel telescopes into an adjacent segment with intraluminal pancreatic tissue as the lead point. Cases of heterotopic pancreas are most often described in the upper intestinal tract, particularly the stomach. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a five-month-old boy of Caucasian...

Heterotopic gastric mucosa (HGM) is a rare anomaly in the small bowel and may be the cause of intussusception when it gets a lead point in the jejunum. All cases of intussusception due to intestinal HGM have been treated with surgical resection. A 5-year-old girl presented with chief complaints of vomiting and abdominal pain for 2 weeks. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed intussus...

Intussusception was first described by Barbette from Amsterdam in 1674. He also suggested surgical treatment. In 1876, Hirschsprung first reported the technique of hydrostatic reduction. Intussusception (invagination) is a specific form of intestinal occlusion. It is invagination of a proximal portion of intestine (intussusceptum) into distal portion (intussusceptions) and is one of the most co...

Intussusception is an invagination of a segment of the gastrointestinal tract into an adjacent one. Jejunojejunal intussusception is a rare complication of jejunostomy tube placement with an incidence of 1%. We are reporting a case of 35-year-old man who was suffering from severe oral, lesions due to Ingestion of acide agents. He received Witzel jejunostomy for early feeding. Ileus developed po...

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...

Intussusception has been recognised for over 2,000 years. Both the operative and the hydrostatic methods of reduction used today are said to have been suggested at that time by the Greeks of Cos. The first successful operative reduction was performed in this country by Sir Jonathan Hutchinson in i87I. Gross and Ware, of Boston, reported in I948 a mortality of below 3 per cent., compared with on...

INTRODUCTION Rotarix™, GSK's live attenuated rotavirus vaccine, was introduced in Japan in 2011. A recent trend in reduction of rotavirus gastroenteritis (RVGE) due to this vaccine was described. However, an observed/expected analysis showed a temporal association with intussusception within 7 days post dose 1. OBJECTIVE In this paper, we compare the benefit and risk of vaccination side-by-si...

OBJECTIVE The "Chinese Fan Spread" (CFS) distraction technique for laparoscopic reduction of intussusception is herein described and its outcome and benefits are evaluated. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of all patients who underwent attempts at laparoscopic reduction of intussusception at our center. The CFS distraction technique was consistently applied in all cases. RESULTS...

Chronic intussusception, defined as intussusception continuing over 14 days, is rare in children. We herein report a case of chronic ileocolic intussusception caused by the transmural infiltration of diffuse large B cell lymphoma in a 14-year-old boy. The patient had been suffering from anorexia and intermittent abdominal pain for 5 weeks, during which his body weight decreased by around 7 kg. ...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate cases in which intussusception was unsuccessfully treated with pneumatic reduction (PR), and intussusception recurred following PR. METHODS The medical records of 401 patients who presented with intussusception between 2003 and 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Included were 61 patients, 20 of whom underwent unsuccessful PR (Group 1), ...
