Intussusception proximal bowel invagination against the distal bowel. Clinical findings of intussusception in form intermittent abdominal pain, a palpable mass abdomen, accompanied wine-red stools.

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. ...

INTRODUCTION Intussusception after gastrectomy is a minor complication after gastrectomy, while common bile duct stone (CBD) is also a rare complication post cholecystectomy. We report a case that simultaneously caused both intussusception and CBD stone following gastrectomy with prophylactic cholecystectomy. CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old woman underwent distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y re...

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), ...

INTRODUCTION Small bowel intussusception is rare in adults and accounts for one percent of all bowel obstructions. Malignancy is the etiologic agent in approximately 50 percent of all cases. CASE PRESENTATION Our first patient was an 80-year-old Caucasian woman with signs and symptoms of intermittent bowel obstruction for the last 12 months. Pre-operative investigation by abdominal computed t...

Background: Intussusception is a frequent cause of bowel obstruction in children but is rare in adults. In about 90% of cases, adult intussusception has identifiable cause acting as the lead point. A lipoma may develop as a benign tumor in any organ but rarely in large or small intestines. Intussusception due to a gastrointestinal lipoma constitutes an infrequent clinical entity. We present a c...

BACKGROUND Intussusception has been identified as a rare adverse event following rotavirus immunization. We sought to determine the incidence of intussusception among infants in Canada both before and after introduction of rotavirus immunization programs. METHODS We used Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) to identify infants under 1 y of age who...

and successfully treated using endoscopic submucosal dissection Adult intussusception represents 5% of all cases of intussusception, and accounts for 1% of all cases of bowel obstruction [1]. Due to the significant risk of malignancy associated with this condition, with neoplasia found in approximately 65% of cases [2], intussusception in adults is treated by surgery, and in most cases cancer i...

Intussusception in adults is uncommon, and it is rare in the descending colon because of its fixation to the retroperitoneum. We herein describe a case of intussusception caused by descending colon cancer. A 74-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for treatment of vomiting and abdominal pain. He had undergone chemotherapy for lymph node recurrence of stomach cancer for about 4 years. Compu...

INTRODUCTION Colo-colic intussusception is extremely rare in adults and few cases have been described secondary to a lypomatous polyp. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 50-year old man with chronic abdominal pain who was diagnosed a colo-colic intussusception secondary to a lipoma of the left colon. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the splenic flexure without reduction, whic...
