Although intussusception is a common cause of intestinal obstruction in children, intussusception of mucinous cystadenoma (MCA) of the appendix characterized by distension of the lumen due to accumulation of the mucoid substance is rarely reported. Diagnosis of MCA is usually made perioperatively. In these cases, as a general approach, an appendectomy is performed for cystadenoma, and right hem...

Intussusceptions is the telescoping or invagination of a portion of intestine (intussusceptum) into an adjacent segment (intussuscipiens). It is one of the common causes of bowel obstruction in infants and toddlers.Sonography has now been accepted as a method for guiding hydrostatic reduction of intussusception with tap water, normal saline or Ringer's lactate solution. This method is currently...

In a retrospective series of 37 cases of intussusception in children over 2 years of age, it was found that a subacute or chronic presentation was more common than in infancy, that few of them had rectal bleeding, and only a minority had a palpable intussusception. Diagnosis was often difficult but was helped by plain abdominal x-rays. Although the majority of children underwent surgery, with a...

OBJECTIVE: In the treatment of childhood intussusception, in addition to commonly adopted open surgery, different methods are used selected cases. One these is ultrasonography (USG)-guided hydrostatic reduction with normal saline. this study, cost surgery and USG-guided was compared.MATERIAL AND METHODS: The medical records 48 cases treated our clinic after diagnosis intussusception between Jan...

BACKGROUND Adult intussusception is a rare clinical condition worldwide. It contributes to less than 5% of all cases of intussusception. Few studies have been conducted in low-income countries compared to high-income countries; particularly Sub-Saharan Africa. Based on anecdotal evidence, the authors hypothesized that the condition is not as rare in a Sub-Saharan setting in comparison with west...

Abstract Background Cystic fibrosis (CF) is commonly associated with gastrointestinal manifestations from infancy to adulthood. Intussusception in the paediatric CF population widely reported, whereas adult, distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) common affecting 20%, of which, intussusception rare and appendiceal rarer, 1%. Case-Description A 20-year-old male presented 3 days right ilia...

Intussusception is defined by Treves in 1899 as invagination of segment bowel into adjacent usually proximal distal. It’s a common cause abdominal emergencies especially children two years age and younger. It accounts for 1 2000 infants results intestinal obstruction. Post-operative intussusception one the rare etiologies obstruction that represents 0.01 to 0.25% after laparotomies 5 -10% all e...

BACKGROUND Intussusception is the most common cause of bowel obstruction in infants with an incidence ranging from 9-328 cases per 100,000 infants aged 0-11 months. Causes underlining this clinical manifestation are still unknown. Possible relationship with a withdrawn tetravalent rotavirus vaccine was not confirmed by post-licensure studies and actually no increased risk of intussusception was...

Ten children developed intussusception after laparotomy. The bowel obstruction caused by the intussusception was evident within 8 days of major laparotomy in 8 children and within 39 days in the other two. It developed after the usual postoperative laparotomy ileus, and did not respond to normal non-operative treatment not even to a barium enema. There was one palpable abdominal mass and no rec...
